Paper Doesn't Grow on Trees

West Chester University of Pennsylvania, along with many universities and businesses, has started to limit the amount of pages one may print in a week. Netop has created PrintLimit which logs the amount of usage per user. The 125 page-per-week limit may not seem like much when you look at that as sheets of paper, but what about when you view it has part of a tree? A new software lets students and faculty the ability to view their carbon foot print produced by their printing usage. Making the connecting between sheets of paper and the actually tree is a step in the right direction! Thanks West Chester!
