SAVE ON NOTE PAPER
September 26th 2010 12:20
Instead of purchasing casual note paper--you know, the
everyday slips of paper you jot down phone messages,
shopping lists, notes for family members, etc.,--try this
tried and true method to save money and help the environment.
When your postal mail arrives, save the envelopes the material
came in and stash them away in a convenient place in the kitchen
or by the phone. Next time you need to write out a shopping list
or take down a phone message, grab one of the envelopes.
Another method of paper saving is to use the reverse side
of just about any piece of paper that does not contain
personal information on the front. Things like reports form
work, notices, promo materials and all those countless pieces
of paper you acquire everyday can be reused around the home.
Eventually, after the piece of paper's second reincarnation as
a piece of note paper, it can finally receive a proper burial in
the recycling bin.
Think for a moment how many sheets of paper, trees and energy
used to run the paper mills and transport the paper to stores could be
saved if EVERYONE worldwide reused each piece of paper twice.
Taking it a step further along the economic curve, think how tax
dollars could be saved if every bumbling bureaucratic paper shuffler
working in government used each piece of paper twice that they
handle.
