The Personal Assessment Tool: A System Providing Environmental Feedback to Users of Shared Printers for Providing Environmental Feedback

Abstract

To face ongoing global warming issues and in general to promote sustainable development, a number of tools have been developed that help people to assess the impact of their behavior on the environment. In this paper we present the Personal Assessment Tool, a system that observes print behavior and aggregates information in ways meant to promote more conscious use of the shared printing resources.
