ASF’s Paper Consumption Program not only introduces students to academic research, but also the analysis of large-scale data through fundamental machine learning and statistical techniques, real-world presentation and public skills, and critical community outreach tactics to raise awareness on sustainable paper consumption. Upon completion of the program, students will have created a customized paper budgeting plan for their schools based on data they've collected through their school-based research, thereby helping their schools better gauge their paper consumption and take steps to mitigate extraneous usage.
