- Eliminating the use of paper by signing up for online or paperless statements and payments
- Reduce the need to copy and print by taking advantage of online reporting. If you do need to print, use recycled paper and ink cartridges.
- Reduce the use of convenience checks.
- Request a GSA SmartPay charge card that is made from recycled or environmentally friendly materials.
- When shopping, use your GSA SmartPay charge card to purchase environmentally friendly or recycled products. Use the GSA Advantage! Environmental Aisle to procure green products and services to maximum extent practicable.
