This project focuses on the legal community, which set the trend for use of paper and generation of paper waste, by encouraging the reduced use of paper, and increased use of recycled paper, by lawyers. A web site will help disseminate information on methods for waste reduction in law offices, and highlight court rules encouraging the use of recycled paper and double-sided printing, as well as electronic filing and exchange of "papers."

Join the Sustainable Law Office! This website, sponsored by the ABA Standing Committee on Environmental Law, introduces law office practices that reduce waste and energy usage and conserve resources.
