According to this article from the Hub, the Oklahoma legislature is considering a Senate bill to become less dependent on paper.
Senate Bill 1507 would not only suggest, but require, reports to be submitted electronically instead of on reams and paper.
The bill comes from Sen. Jay Paul Gumm:
“It’s a tremendous cost-saving measure,” said Sen. Jay Paul Gumm, D-Durant, the bill’s author. “It’ll free up resources that can be put toward making Oklahoma a better place.”
This is a cost-saving move, but it is also a green move to be applauded.
What else can the legislature do to become more green in their offices? Do you have any suggestions?
Hopefully, those in positions of leadership will make a positive move and businesses will follow.
