    Choosing two-sided printing can be an easy adjustment on your computer settings. How can you help others make this same switch? Can it be encouraged company wide?

    Yes, this practise needs to be adopted by everyone. There can be flyers posted near printers to urge people for 2 side printing

    The daily fruits & vegetables consumption helps to keep track of how much food we consume. Once, the compost is ready, it will be used in kitchen garden.
