Sustainability in the District Attorney's Office

DA's Sustainability Liaison: Samantha Markowitz

Paper Reduction in DA

We reduced our paper consumption by 9% since FY2008! This saved the department over $3,100 in avoided paper purchases last year.

We have also increased the amount of paper we purchase made with 100% recycled content. Buying 100% recycled paper saves:

60-70% energy savings over virgin pulp
uses 55% less water
reduces water pollution by 35%
reduces air pollution by 74%
eliminates many toxic pollutants
Multnomah County Sustainability Liaisons coordinate sustainability efforts in their departments by acting as resources and advocates. Please contact them if you have questions, suggestions or would like to get involved.
