WASHINGTON - With numerous recycling bins, power saving lights, and cute little energy efficient trucks, there’s evidence of GW’s Green Initiative all over campus. The latest in a series of efforts to make the school more environmentally friendly is found within Colonial Printing stations across campus. As of December, all printing kiosks will no longer have the functionality to print, thus not wasting paper, no matter what. We took to the streets to get some reactions for this new Green policy.

“I’m really happy that GW cares this much to go out of their way and save the trees,” said a sophomore and environmental engineering major Elizabeth Klean. “We as citizens of Earth really need to do everything we can to save paper.”

Freshman business major Jim Wingate recalled his first run in with the new Green printers. “I was running to class down F street and remembered I didn’t print my homework assignment. So I went into Gelman library to print it but there was not a single machine that could read my flash drive. I ended up walking into the lecture hall late and showing the professor the assignment on my laptop. It felt amazing to have saved that sheet of paper. I really know that I’m making a difference in this world.”

Due to the cost of installing the new software on each kiosk, students can expect an increase in price per page when using the improved print stations.
