Sullivan has enacted a new paper usage policy last quarter. Basically, every student can only print a certain amount of pages. I think this is a great policy because it helps save paper and save the environment because it forces students to think twice before they print any unnecessary pages. I wish there was also a way to use recycling paper instead of regular white paper and that we could print research on paper that was already used (at home, I reuse old paper and I print my research or drafts on the second side so I can save paper). I really wish they would give us an option to print to a "draft" printer and to print on a "regular" printer with the assignments that we actually turn in. There is one thing that really upsets me though: the printers in the library are set up to print Word documents as "draft" (in gray, not in black) and every time I print something I forget and then I end up printing the same paper twice because I can not turn it in as draft. I know it's my own fault, but instead of saving ink and paper this default setting costs more ink and paper. I wonder how many students are like me and keep forgetting to set the printer to regular before they print their papers.
