The Council on the Environment (COTE) adopted on November 4, 2002 a "30% Recycled Paper Resolution" which recommended that the university central stores phase out and eliminate the purchase of printer and copier paper with 0% post-consumer recycled content and switch to 30% post-consumer recycled content paper. COTE estimated that switching to a 30% PCC paper would save over 3000 trees, 800 million BTUs of energy, and 100,000 pounds of CO2 equivalent GHG emissions in the atmosphere.
