Hi, Mei,
We don’t charge for copies. Every now and then at morning meeting I show the
kids a stack of wasted (usually because they hit print 10 times because they
were impatient) paper to remind them. I also once drew a picture of the Lorax
with a personal plea from him, since he speaks for the trees, to limit copies.
I taped this to the printer. If the kids don’t remember it from lower school
reading, they recognize it from their World Cultures class where they watch the
movie (yes, they are high schoolers).
We also have a teacher who likes to reuse the wasted paper in his printer.
