Summary: The Hawaii Senate decided two years ago to cut government waste by targeting paper.  

The Senate recently reported a two-year savings of more than $1.2 million.  Nearly eight million pages, or the equivalent of over 800 trees have been saved.

Response:  This is great.  More states should notice this and do the same.  It is great that Hawaii has saved over 800 trees during a two year time period.  This is not only saving money, but it is saving the environment.
