A Green Idea...
Before printing slides or handouts, consider placing the presentation in a shared location. Just prior to the delivery time, advise viewers of the location and those who require hard copies, can print and bring them to the presentation delivery meeting. This can help to conserve paper and printer ink.
And, before printing notes pages, consider viewing your notes in Presenter View. You can view your notes as you deliver your presentation on a second monitor, and this will help to conserve paper and printer ink. For more information, see Deliver a presentation on two monitors by using Presenter view.
