Eliminate print versions of newsletters, weekly newspapers, and fliers, and make online versions available instead. This not only saves money on printing costs but reduces garbage and helps the environment.

Use cigarette-butt recycling containers instead of regular collecter bins (in designated smokers areas) for recycling
Place cigarette-butt recycle containers near all designated smoking areas within the Federal government. Not all buildings are fully government owned. People smoke outside - that's just the way it is, but there are actually cigarette-butt recycle containers that collect the butts and recyele the butts. It's trash. It's collected - but not dumped just anywhere... it is recycled. That will save money.
