Environment - Paper Reduction Act

[TheMurderousCricket 5,057]

"The Paper Reduction Act reduces garbage levels in the city by calling attention to the vast amount of paper wasted in the normal course of running a business. It requires all production managers to file a fifty page report whenever paper usage at their business or factory exceeds, by then percent or more, the previous month's levels. These reports are to be typed on the Standard Form 23/6-A (rev. 2), and must provide written justification for the paper usage variance. The monthly cost of this ordinance, based on Sim population, pays to bind and store these reports in public reading rooms. The ordinance if found to be an effective means for reducing garbage production, because managers will do "whatever it takes" to avoid writing a report."
