Printing one yourself will be less environmentally friendly as you will use an
entire sheet of A4 instead of getting 3 agendas on a single sheet.

Subject: Re: [96attendees] Please stop killing trees with pre-printed agendas
Hello folks,
I think the printed agendas are great and use them every day during the
meetings.
I guess I could do print one myself given my limited expertise with Microsoft
Word. That's yet another thing to do, during a time when there are already so
many things needing attention. I have a hard time understanding why it's
claimed to be too expensive or wasteful, compared to (say) the food we didn't
eat.
Regards,
Charlie P.

I am becoming convinced that the small pre-printed folded agendas are
doing more harm than good.
We've become more dynamic with meeting scheduling - the pre-printed
agendas are almost always incorrect at the start of the meeting.
We have much better online tools, including smartphone apps that
provide better access to non-stale data.
We've found it easy to have printers on-site for anyone who really
needs to print a copy (and can post instructions in an easy to find
place on how to make that happen).
Therefore, I would propose that the secretariat be directed to not
provide the folded agendas in Seoul, so that we eliminate the
printing and shipping expense (and associated environmental impact).
