Paperless Day for Organisations

On this day organizations halt all non essential printing and copying internally to help the staff understand and become aware of the fact that it is indeed possible to function with reduced paper.

Paper would not be available in printers and copiers on this day and can be acquired only through designated focal points after the need is clarified and cited.

All external communication that involves printing like Cheques and LPO's would continue unaffected as the campaign is an internal process within the participating entities applying to all form of internal communication that employ paper.

Since evaluation is essential for identifying progress, all organizations will measure their paper use on the paper less day and report it in relation to their average paper use on a normal day.

The campaign seeks a commitment from all staff and employees to reduce paper use. It encourages the participating entities to keep things fun and exciting. Organizations can gift responsible employees who print less and even celebrate the paper less day through awareness events like internal seminars.

Moreover this campaign should not be an attempt to change existing policies. It is not an idealistic or utopian goal as we at EAD do realize that paper is definitely a necessity in the world today. However it is the wastage or misuse of paper that we can and should eliminate.
