SIMPLE WAYS TO SAVE PAPER

SIMPLE WAYS TO SAVE PAPER



Saving the environment doesn't have to be a herculean task that is left to big organisations. We can all do our bit to help out. Here's how... 1
Most of us use debitcredit cards while shopping, but how many of us actually need the printed receipt, given that banks instantly send a SMS after each transaction? The next time you swipe your card, ask the vendor to print only one (merchant) copy of the receipt.
2
The same rule applies when drawing money from an ATM. All ATM machines ask users if they want a print of the transaction. Opt to go paperless and just check your phone the next time you want to know how much balance you have left.
3
Print something only if you really need to. These days, you can flash your eticket on your mobile phone at the airport and railway station.Also, use the blank side of a printed paper to jot down any notes that you might have.
4
When you do need to print, you can save a lot of paper by simply changing the margin settings. Change the margin from the standard 1.25 setting to .75 on every document you print.
5
Don't throw away the envelope the next time you get a letter or bill. Pile them up next to your landline or computer to jot down phone numbers or notes.
6
Feed your grocery or to do list on your mobile phone instead of scribbling it on a piece of paper.Since your phone is with you at all times, you will have your list handy whenever you need it.
7
Instead of going out and buying a book, gather used paper (paper that has been printedwritten on one side) or pamphlets to make a booklet. You could make it look funky by choosing a colourful cover.
8
Get creative and cut pages of magazines into different shapes to make a unique piece of art. You could cut them up like leaves and paste them on a used sheet of paper or chartpaper to make it look like a tree.
9
Use old newspaper as gift wrapping paper. This gives your gift a funky look and makes it stand out.
10
Use cloth napkins instead of tissue paper at home.Cloth absorbs liquid better and does a neater job of cleaning up the mess. Moreover, it can always be washed and reused.
