One of the areas we want to improve in our school, is unsustainable printing behaviours. To better these current habits, we propose:

The instigation of teachers sending files that need to be printed, ahead of time to the printing center to be printed as opposed from teachers printing these files within their classrooms. Classroom printers use more resources and many are unable to print double sided. These problems can be avoided in the printing center, and will thereby save the amount of materials used in the long run. 

Teachers can access the online printing form on an email.

The amount of forms sent by teachers to the printing center will be tracked by the printing center, to give us ideas of how we can improve this proposal in the ?A-Z Sustainability Guide? as well as push forth better printing habits that will save more resources and decrease the amount of waste created by our school.

To prevent further environmental implications from the usage of markers, we propose the following solution:

A Teacher Aid/Guide Person can collect and refill empty whiteboard markers by going around classrooms every week (teachers can have a designated basket for used markers to increase efficiency)
