      by Redjie Cawis

      BAGUIO CITY, March 29  - The Department of Environment and Natural Resources is encouraging government offices to go paperless to save trees, the main source of paper.

      DENR regional executive director Clarence Baguilat said that the DENR has started paperless transactions in their office. He said that during meetings or conferences, they use less paper and use electronic devices instead.

      He said that employees are now getting use of portable devices to save documents and files such as USB flash drive, external hard drives, and other devices.

      They also are encouraged to bring along laptops when having a meeting to save documents rather than printing many pages of papers.

      At the DENR central office, memoranda are dispatched to regional offices through emails and electronic copies via the internet.

      Electronic information technology should be practiced in today’s transactions especially in government offices,Baguilat said.

      The DENR is also practicing this system of transactions in their provincial and community offices in the region. *(PIA CAR)
