Last year, about 40 percent of paper purchased at UCCS had 30 percent or more recycled content. The memo provided specific numbers for paper purchases from Staples, the university\u2019s office supply contractor.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOnce again, individuals that make up the campus community have demonstrated a commitment that has made the university an environmental leader,\u201d Burnett wrote. \u201cThank you for your support and persistence in reaching toward our goals.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>What\u2019s the price of the change? For campus departments, a ream (500 sheets) of recycled paper will cost about 28 cents more than comparable amount of virgin paper. The long-term benefits are just as tangible. By using 30 percent recycled paper, seven trees are saved for every 40 cartons of paper used, according to Linda Kogan, director, Office of Sustainability.<\/p>\n<p>Questions?
