CONSERVE PAPER AT THE OFFICE – SAVE A TREE

Anything we can do to reduce waste, means less trash in the landfills.  If we throw paper in with our trash and not our recycling, we are adding to the landfill.  Paper must be recycled.

To conserve paper at the office, use e-mail instead of memos and faxes. Important e-mails may be saved in folders on your computer. Whenever you can reach someone electronically, do it. Offer reports and major documents on a disk to interested parties. Consider using rewriteable discs and/or memory sticks. Print out e-mail, documents, and reports only when necessary.  Use fax stick-on labels instead of cover sheets. Set your printer to print a document on both sides of the paper, with your supervisor’s permission. Order only recycled paper.  Recycle all paper but not before you have used it to the fullest. Did you print out something you did not need?  Put the paper back into the printer, turned to the opposite side and print something else.  Of course this works only on documents for your eyes only.  The point is to make the most of the paper you have used.  Make it a habit to treat paper like the precious commodity that it is.  One person can make a difference….pass it on.
