In order to promote sustainable and financially responsible practices on campus, the Associated Student Government of 2010-2011 launched a print reduction initiative with a goal of reeling in the excessive printing of some students and educating students to be successful in a low paper or paper-free learning environment.\u00a0 ASG research found that nearly all colleges are charging for printing and offering a limited number of free prints each quarter.<\/p>\n
The initiative has rolled out in phases with the support of successive student governments.\u00a0 In Winter 2012 Paper cut was introduced, a software tool, that lets students see how much they\u2019ve printed with a desktop icon (below) and printing history that measures environmental impact.\u00a0 That reportedly saved 63,801 pages that weren\u2019t wanted and 120,762 page that exceeded the maximum.\u00a0 In Fall 2012 a 300 print per quarter limit was instituted on student computers which stopped abusive printing, which included student printing more than 1,000 pages.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n
Starting Winter 2013 student computers will be pay per print, students will receive $15.00 in credit and each print will deduct $0.10.\u00a0 If necessary, students will be able to purchase additional printing credits at pay stations in N250 (the N lab). The pay stations will accept coins and bills, but not pennies.\u00a0 Printing balances expire at the end of each quarter and do not rollover and are not transferable.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n Student printing is paid for by the Student Technology Fund.\u00a0 Reducing printing reduces the need to increase student technology fees and assures there are funds available for student technology needs.\u00a0 It will also reduce our College\u2019s environmental footprint and provide students the information they need to make responsible choices.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" In order to promote sustainable and financially responsible practices on campus, the Associated Student Government of 2010-2011 launched a print reduction initiative with a goal of reeling in the excessive printing of some students and educating students to be successful in a low paper or paper-free learning environment.\u00a0 ASG research found that nearly all colleges ...more about ASG Print Reduction Initiative – Next Phase<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":3980,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"categories":[26],"tags":[39,173,174,178,249],"class_list":["post-3978","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-waste","tag-asg","tag-paper","tag-papercut","tag-print-reduction","tag-winter-2013"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.bellevuecollege.edu\/sustainability\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3978","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.bellevuecollege.edu\/sustainability\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.bellevuecollege.edu\/sustainability\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.bellevuecollege.edu\/sustainability\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.bellevuecollege.edu\/sustainability\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=3978"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/www.bellevuecollege.edu\/sustainability\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3978\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":7834,"href":"https:\/\/www.bellevuecollege.edu\/sustainability\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3978\/revisions\/7834"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.bellevuecollege.edu\/sustainability\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/3980"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.bellevuecollege.edu\/sustainability\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3978"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.bellevuecollege.edu\/sustainability\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=3978"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.bellevuecollege.edu\/sustainability\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=3978"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
