Do you ever get anything in the mail with paper that has only been used on one side? At the end of a semester, do you have a lot of notes that you printed one-sided, and that you don’t need anymore? Any time you have paper that has only been used on one side, save it in a pile. Use that paper whenever you need to make a list, take down a phone number, or do anything that doesn’t need to be preserved or neat. You can put them into your printer when you need to print a receipt, coupon, ticket, worksheet or notes. You can also opt to receive bills and statements via email to avoid some of the waste altogether.
