Nicole: Absolutely. Just more trees being chopped down. 
Frank: But as people are doing copying, there may be adjustments, and practice copying, 
producing singlesided copies or blank pages not wanted and not intended for use. These 
need to be depositedinto a tray for intended recycling —you know, for recopying onto the 
blank side of the page. 
Nicole: But people don’t usually do that. I’m afraid it’s just human nature. No matter 
how unimportant the copying is, they prefer to use fresh paper. 
Frank: Yeah, I agree with you, which is why you need to displaythese papers right in 
front of everyone, with a clear sign, ‘Please Reuse’, to make it easy for them to do so. 
Nicole: They still won’t do it. 
Frank: I know. That’s why you take some of these papers, and regularly stack 
them inside the copier, in a special tray, once a day—say, in the morning. 
Nicole: Well, that’s getting better, making it easier for them to use the paper, but still, I’m 
afraid many won’t. 
Frank: That’s why you allow everyone to select this tray when 
copying. You distribute numbers or codes to every person, giving them special access to 
this recycling tray. Every time they use papers from this, it’s tallied up to their account. 
Nicole: I know I’m sounding a bit negative ... or even cynical here ... but why should they 
bother using that tray? 
Frank: Because the person who does the most copying from this recycling tray gets, say, 
a cinema pass, or lottery ticket, or some other sort of reward. 
Nicole: Ah, right! Now that’s a system which might just work. Let’s trial it in the office 
and see what happens.
