Cost $aving$ idea contest for City College

Here's your chance to suggest ways for City College to reduce costs and raise additional funds. There have been some great suggestions so far. To review some of these and to find out how you can participate in this contest, please click on

I am submitting two suggestions related to printing from computers (how many printers are there at City College?):

First, join the "Change the Margins" effort by changing the default setting for margins from the standard 1.25 inches to .75 inches. This saves paper and money as more text can fit on every page. See http://www.changethemargins.com/ for details.

Second, select a standard font for City College that will use up the least amount of ink without compromising readability. More on this at http://tinyurl.com/ylb97sa

Even simple things like these can produce significant savings, especially at a place so large as City College. Please visit http://www.ccsf.edu/Offices/SavingsContest/ to offer your suggestions.

Thanks.

Actually, standard Modern Language Association (MLA) format requires 1" margins.

Soft copy should be used as often as possible. Gosh, how much paper and ink are wasted per Board meeting?
