A Sustainable Future (ASF) is a student-run, nonprofit environmental initiative that focuses on reducing paper consumption within the academic setting. ASF was founded on the basis of protecting our planet--starting with our schools. Every student deserves the opportunity to make lasting environmental contributions in academia. Hence, here at A Sustainable Future, we provide resources for students to educate themselves and others on sustainable paper consumption, as well as guidelines for students to conduct paper consumption research in their own schools--spanning seven countries and 30+ member schools. For educational institutions, ASF has developed an emerging technological tool, ASF’s paper consumption model, to help schools tailor their paper consumption levels.
