  7.4.2.3 GOOS Bins
  91% of participating EcoSchools have implemented a GOOS paper (or Good On One Side paper) system within their classrooms, libraries, and administrative areas. The concept is very simple and requires a school to create a bin system to house paper that is still blank "good" on one side. This encourages staff and students to use the other side of the GOOS paper for quick notes, quizzes, etc. in lieu of reaching for a fresh piece.
