Window envelopes: You can help the URMC reduce paper! Every week, Clinical Laboratories sends out hundreds of white windowed envelopes containing lab results. Although the envelopes can be recycled along with many other varieties of paper, they are also perfect for reuse since nothing is typed or written on them. Now you can return the envelopes to: Clinical Laboratories, Attn: Jeremy Cooper, Box 608.
You will help the department save money as well as doing your part to help save the planet!
