Brought to you by the Osgoode Sustainability Committee

As we lead up to the end of the semester here are some tips to reduce the environmental footprint (although maybe not entirely the stress) of exams and final papers.

  • Re-use scrap paper to print paper drafts and work through old exams: Have some scrap paper left over from class handouts and printing out one hundred-page journal articles? Put the blank side to good use! Re-use scrap paper to print paper draft version fifty, or for rough notes as you work through old exams.
  • Re-purpose old binders, tabs and dividers: Every year when exams finish there is a certain satisfaction in throwing your summaries promptly into the recycling bin (good riddance!). Take a moment to remove the useful school supplies hidden amongst those pages. Binders, tabs and dividers can be used again next year, saving you money and the headache of realizing you need more supplies the night before your exam.

The Sustainability Committee wishes you the best of luck over the coming weeks. Have a fantastic summer!
