Wait...before you recycle that...

What YOU can do before you recycle your paper!

REDUCE!

  • Use email, voicemail and bulletin boards to circulate branch or district-wide messages.
  • Save and proof documents electronically rather than printing a hard copy.
  • Think before you print (do you need to print every email...)!

REUSE!
  • Use both sides of the paper and print double-sided in copiers/printers.
  • Make scratch paper from otherwise waste paper.
  • Reuse envelopes or use two-way envelopes.
  • Use manila folders for multiple projects.
  • Reuse cardboard boxes for storage or shipping.
  • Use paper for projects, wrapping gifts, etc!

What other ideas do you have for REDUCING and REUSING before RECYCLING?
