• Discontinue use of chlorinated rubber traffic paint for parking lots.

Printing Department

• Recycle all old offset films and plates and discontinue use of film-based plate production by June 30, 2012.
• Provide customers with recycled paper options. Use 100% post-consumer recycled paper for all course packets.
• Continue biannual scrap paper giveavay to nonprofit organizations.
• Reduce volatile chemical use by 90% (based on FY11 volumes).

Stores and Receiving

• Offer recycled paper purchasing options including copy paper, cover paper, parchment paper, toilet paper and napkins.

Campus Mail Distribution

• Work towards minimizing vehicle idling to help reduce fuel consumption and reduce air pollution.
