Suvir said that if you change to using a slimmer font like Garamond, the whole United States will save up to 24% of the ink for printing every year, equivalent to nearly 400 million USD.

With a passion for bringing computer science into environmental protection, Suvir always wonders how to save paper and ink maximum. Suvir has used both software and physical methods to demonstrate how the current use of fonts is "consuming" ink.

Specifically, by collecting materials delivered by teachers, Suvir focuses on the most used letters in English , e, t, a, o and r.

How is the boy Suvir Mirchandani now?
