During class today, make it a point to use both sides of your paper when taking notes. Just flip the paper over. Sounds too easy, doesn’t it? Well it is. But the fact is by the end of this week the whole population at the University of Oregon will have saved 140,000 pieces of paper. Not bad, don't you think? Even more amazing, by this time next year, we’ll be able to save 7.28 million pieces of paper. With all of us at the University of Oregon making this commitment, whether at school, work or home, the difference will be significant. Begin today to make that half a second count to help reduce the amount of paper being used. Together we can make a difference. Celebrate Earth Day every day. Remember, use wisely, because paper = trees. Sponsored by the Environmental Issues Comrnitta-.
