The cost of printer paper moved through the roof. Perhaps not just the financial cost but also a wonderful environmental price. I've found a simple, easy way to save money and the environment.

Re use your printer paper. Exactly what? Needless to say you can't always reuse your printer paper for every new print job you have. But you can re use it, more than you believe. Here are a few ideas I have used to cut down (No pun intended) about the price of my printer paper and help the environment.

Above my desk I have two holes. In one single I place a source of fresh, unused printer paper. In one other I set paper. You know, those sheets which simply have a single short line of (meaningless) printing left from a print of website. Or those pages you've picked are not printed well or have mistakes on these (Well I have some of them ) All these are the pages you have put in the trash earlier, gone, wasted.


The page has two sides. Papago coloured take that sheet before throwing it out and consider it. Will there be a blank side I could use later? When you have, I put that in the tray of paper. I sometimes will take a pencil and immediately draw a curved live round the side to remind me it's a used paper (this just takes a second.) This prevents the sheet being used on something I need, that uses only 1 side. You never need to do so, but it has saved several mistakes and thus. . .lost time.

I personally use the tray used paper to: Scratch paper, printing some thing I am just going to work with quick and then throw away or file (Why waste a clean sheet?) , like a divider or even sorter, taping up a large note for a reminder, packing material, virtually what you'd make use of a clean sheet of newspaper to get, however do not want to waste a new sheet of paper.

Imagine the cost savings. Imagine what type of paper can do to reduce the range of trees which are cut each year. Imagine how you will feel knowing you're doing .
