Data source(s) and notes about the submission:
Amounts reported are only inclusive of paper purchased through our main paper vendor. Departments all purchase their own paper, many purchase from this vendor but not all. The vendor's reporting has categories of light green (10%-29% post consumer or FSC), mid green (30%-89%) and dark green (90% - 100%). Not being able to further breakdown the mid green category, spend was reported in the middle, 30-49%.
