 Beginning in 2005, City departments took actions to reduce paper by 15% by the end of 2005, 30% by the end of 2006 and maintain the 30% reduction levels going forward. In addition, we began using 100% post-consumer-waste recycled content paper as our standard for printing and copying. PaperCuts is a success, saving waste and pollution, saving time and money!
On these web pages, find out why it matters, what we did, and how you can do PaperCuts.

- The PaperCuts Steering Committee is delighted to tell you that City Departments achieved 30% paper reduction compared to our 2004 baseline.
- The saved paper would make a stack as high as 9 Space Needles! This amount of paper equals about 90 tons, and saved City Departments $44,000.
- The reduced paper consumption plus continued use of 100% post-consumer-waste recycled paper eliminates almost 400 tons of CO2 equivalent (greenhouse gases) each year.
