A brief description of the time period from which the figures reported above are drawn (i.e. one-year time period or representative sample):
The data submitted is from a representative sample. In December 2018, the NYU School of Law transitioned entirely to tree-free paper that is made from agricultural waste products (Tree-Zero). However, since this was not captured in 2018 data (the most recent University-wide data available) - an extrapolation was performed to estimate the Law School's impact on the overall University's paper consumption. To do this, a representative sample of NYU School of Law’s usage from Q1 2019 was taken and extrapolated for the entire year. This consumption was added to the 2018 data and the School of Law’s previous usage of non-Treezero paper in 2018 was subtracted. This data is considered representative because Q1 2019 includes both an academic break and the beginning of the spring semester.
