Paper is made from trees and the more trees we use, the greater the deforestation of our planet. Try to implement some of these paper-saving tips to reduce the amount of paper that is used at your office.  

• Change your computer’s default settings so that you can put more text on each page. In MS Word, go to File ] Page Setup ] Reduce the margins and set your margins to smaller numbers. Compared to the normal settings, you could use up to 14% less paper!
• When you are printing, reduce font size to 10 point to decrease the amount of paper required.
• Print on both sides. In MS Word, go to File Print ] Properties ] Print on Both Sides. Set your default on your computer to print double-sided, and only select one-sided printing when really needed.
• Use less toner when printing draft documents by not choosing best quality under Print Quality.
• Reuse paper that is printed on one side to print/copy draft documents or cut it up and use it as a notepad. Never recycle a clean-sided sheet of paper!
• Try creating and editing documents without printing by using electronic editing on-screen in your word processing program.
• Avoid printing e-mail messages, as they can be archived electronically for future reference. Use the 'reply' or 'forward' features to send the information onto others.
• When photocopying, use the 'duplex' or 'double-sided print' features whenever possible.
• Only make the required number of photocopies. Less use of photocopiers saves energy and paper.
• Avoid making a copy for everyone, attach a circulation slip instead.
• When sending a fax, use a laminated cover sheet and a dry-erase pen.
• Recycle all paper that can’t be reused.
