Help us to conserve paper by allowing me to reuse class sets of handouts for students. Save a tree. Use a filing cabinet. Unfortunately, my current filing cabinet has retired from decades of service. It is older than I am. It’s done a good job but it is currently eating up our papers and becoming very difficult to open the broken drawers. If we can purchase this new filing cabinet and the paper to put it in, I can reuse materials throughout the day and from year to year, thus saving trees and helping the environment, rather than reprinting papers every year for every different class.
