Energy Conservation Project

Office-Paper Use at Juneau-Douglas High School

For my “Energy Conservation Project” I delved into the world of paper use at the Juneau-Douglas High School (JDHS). Originally, I wanted to determine how much paper was recycled, what percentage of office paper was printed on both sides, and how much virgin paper was used. As the project unfolded, I had to trim it down. I decided to determine how much virgin paper was used, what the energy and environmental impacts were, and how shifting to recycled paper, 50% or 100% post-consumer, would reduce these impacts.
