Default to two-sided printing
We could save a lot of paper if our printers defaulted to two-sided (duplex) printing, with the option to print one-sided, across all government agencies.

Printing
Stop printing the government budget report. There is no reason every member of Congress and the White House needs a bound copy of the budget. Let them print it off their own printers if they want a hard copy, otherwise just .pdf it.

Save 50% of Paper
Double sided printing and copying can save 50% of paper used for informal printing. By instructing employees to use doubled sided printing and copying or changing the default status of printers and copiers to double sided, a huge amount of paper can be saved! Files will also, as a result, become smaller and will save space in file cabinets.

Minimize color printing
Our office, of less than 200 employees, spends over $7K/month on color printing costs. We use two Xerox machines with each requiring one black and three color drums ($771/ea), five color and black toners ($280 - $300+/ea), a fuser (over $800), etc. We change color drums about twice a month.

Reduce Unintentional Printing
It's too easy to hit the print button, when you don't really need to/want to print. A pop-up button asking "are you sure you want to print xxx number of pages to xxx printer, at a cost of $xx.xx to taxpayers?" could help folks think twice about whether printing is necessary. If so, click YES, and the print job would proceed. If not, click NO to cancel.

Cut GPO spending drastically.
If the GPO was required to print government documents only in the English language their budget would shrink to manageable levels. This is a hot button political question right now, but it's a win-win-win. 1.) GPO budget shrinks 2.) interpreters / translators get work 3.) New arrivals are compelled to learn the english language and better integrate into the United States.
