Reduce paper and ink waste
Currently when we take Proxy Ordinance Cards to the Temple they are destroyed after each ordinance and you have to reprint for each following ordinance. These cards are much larger than needed and contain boxes with previous ordinances xxxx out and other information no longer needed. There is lots of paper and ink waste with the current system. My recommendation is that patrons be able to print Proxy Endowment Cards like the little ones we receive in the New Name booth if you don’t have your own name to do. This would save a tremendous amount of paper and ink. For baptism, initiatory and sealing it would also work to allow patrons to print sheets like the Temples do for Temple File names. Again there would be a great saving of paper and ink. We need to save trees and other vital natural resources to help save our beautiful earth that God has so blessed us to enjoy and take care of it beauty and resources.

I agree. I am on a limited budget. I have a contract where I can print up to 15 pages a month for free and then I have to pay $1 for each additional page. My husband and I try to go to the temple as patrons once weekly. We are not currently able to do baptisms due to an injury from a car accident, but we rotate the other three ordinances. Printing these out are using a huge amount of my monthly allotted print pages and I am very annoyed by this. I would like to be able to print small cards like in the new name booth. No instructions necessary. On one page, I would like to be able to print five initiatory for me and my husband, one endowment for each of us, three couple sealings, and at least three sealings of children to parents and then to fill in the extra space with other ordinances. Please stop this paper waste.

Since we now use each name card only once, there is no need for spaces dedicated to each of the five possible ordinances, which must be blocked off, except for the specific ordinance being performed and recorded. Since the ordinances are all being handled electronically anyway, there is no need for instructions on every printed sheet. With a little judicious adjustment, patrons who regularly take names to the temple could print many names on each sheet.
