    Choosing two-sided printing can be an easy adjustment on your computer settings. How can you help others make this same switch? Can it be encouraged company wide?

    Try to tell others that switching to two-sided printing can benefit them because one they save more paper and it is a very simple way of helping the planet. I feel most companies are using two-sided printing however there are companies that dont use it because of professional reasons. I believe that if we change a professional format to a more eco friendly format for reports, etc.
