President Clinton's "reinventing government" initiative and Congressional
Republicans' "Contract With
America" agenda.
Bill reduces paper use
Congress adopted the Paperwork
Reduction Bill of 1995 to reduce the
amount of paperwork required by federal departments and regulatory agencies and to limit the cost of collecting
that information.
E-mail has been an issei In eliminating paper use in manufacturing
industries, said Kenneth Moshier,
Fresno Stale department of industrial
technology chairman.
The rapid relaying of information
reduces the amount of paper used for
internal memos and newsletters.
Moshier said.
Although E-mail has reduced Ihe
volume of paper in certain industries.
Moshier added that the amount of paper piling up in offices, including his
own. has remained about the same.
"It seems that, in my experience,
the amount of paper really hasn't reduced in the last few years." Moshier
said.
Using paper wisely
One answer to the paper burden
may lay in how offices and individuals use paper wisely. The CIWMB
suggests when making copies to use
both sides ofthe page instead of one.
The board also recommends reusing
old file folders and using recycled
paper.
"It's son of a dilemma." Frcvcrt
said. "It's more convenient to use paper. We have to think of ways to use
it wisely."
