John Jay College Of Criminal Justice | The City University of New York

Current College Initiatives:

• 80% of cleaning products are green certified or have a green seal- increase 5% per year to 95%.
• Cafeteria food vendor eliminated the purchase of foam cups- working on food plates and containers.
• All 8 ½ x 11 print/copy paper purchased for the College is 30% recycled content, including print shops.
• Replace electric hand towel machines for manual machines, eliminating the purchase and recycling of batteries.
• We use recycled paper and refill toner cartridges in the student computer labs rather than buy new ones.
• Any printer purchased after Dec. 2009 by DoIT supports the use of recycled paper and is Energy Star rated with up to 25% more efficient imaging equipment.
• We have implemented a print management program for student printing (OCS) to reduce unnecessary printing.
• We have implemented a pilot Free-pay a no cost photocopy service for students with advertising. The company uses the advertising revenue to negate its carbon footprint.
• Newly purchased computers are taking a power saving to the next level with S3 Sleep mode that places the computer in a state where the system appears off. The CPU has no power; the RAM is in slow refresh and the power supply is in reduced power mode. We have configured all new computers to go into S3 Sleep mode after ½ hr and the monitors to do the same after 15 minutes.

Initiatives Planned:

• Move to double sided copying.
• Replace toilet tissue for a brand that has higher recycled content.
• It is expected that JJC will phase into 100% recycled print/copy paper, as per Executive Order 4.
• Print shop to use other sizes and types of recycled paper.
