The administration has officially transitioned all web printing services to a mandatory double-sided default. I appreciate the commitment shown by everyone who advocated for this shift toward responsible resource management. We will monitor the implementation to ensure the transition remains smooth for all students.

At Hult students have only one option for web printing - single sided. This is unfortunate because it creates a lose- lose situation for students, the school, and the planet.

1) Students use up their "printer" page allocation faster

2) The school spends more money on paper


3) More trees get cut down because only 50% of each page being utilized.

As a leader in business education and a supposed advocate for sustainability Hult needs to immediately to set up the web printing system for default double sided printing. This would result in less paper used overall - helping students get the most of out printing services, reducing costs and also being mindful of the planet's finite resources.

Please sign this petition to show your support for a Hult-wide double sided printing policy ASAP.

Not only is double sided printing non green, it also takes up a lot of time. One sided print also makes it bulky to carry given the personal allotment of 500 sheets per person per month. Assuming 500 students on campus print 500 sheets a month, that a total of 3million sheets a year. Implementing this would reduce the number of sheets by 1.5M a year. So why not?!!

It's funny it isn't standard procedure. I mean doesn't it just make sense to do this?

Double Side Printing is better for the environment and saves resources but our printouts are less bulky, more convenient and more book-like.

I agree with the subject of the petition and urge for an option for double sided printing. Save nature save the globe.

I agree with the contention in the petition that printing only one side is wasteful. Request review the same.

It would be useful as well if we could print several pages in One sheet. Like 2 or 4. This way, We could print up to 8 pages just with 1 piece of paper.
