Paper waste is a major contribution to the total waste at landfills, being approximately 26% of it. Over two million trees are cut down for global paper consumption every day. This means that four billion trees are cut down every year just to serve our paper needs! Trees are an important component of nature, so it is important to do what we can to save them. This article will teach you some ways to reduce paper waste.

1. Print out documents only if you absolutely need to. Instead, save them electronically whenever possible. While it may be easier to print documents, since you won't have to log on to a computer or smartphone to find them, there are some disadvantages to printing.

Printed documents tend to get lost. You could end up losing them in a pile of other supplies, or you may simply forget where you placed them. As a result, you may not be able to find the document when you need it.

They may take up a lot of space. Especially if you have a lot of other things, adding a document to the mix will likely result in more space being used.

You may forget to bring them along with you. If you need to bring the document somewhere, you may forget it by accident. If the document is saved on a computer, you don't have to worry about bringing it somewhere, since you can simply log on to a computer and find it.

2. Consider electronically saving documents. This has additional benefits, instead of printing them. You can easily find documents this way since you'll likely have your phone with you most of the time, and they won't take up much physical space.

You can use drive storage programs to save your documents, such as Google Drive or OneDrive, so that they won't get lost and you can access them from any device, anywhere, at any time. With these programs, you'll also likely be able to give and receive feedback on your document easier.

Remember what you name all of your files and if you place them in any folders (and if so, the name of the folder). Otherwise, you may not be able to find them when you need them.

3. Print double-sided if you need to print. While the process for doing this may vary depending on the printer, it's typically not very difficult. This method will also cost you 50% less since you won't need to use a second sheet of paper.

Double-check beforehand to see if your printer allows double-sided printing. If it doesn't, you can still print double-sided manually.

Using smaller (but still readable) fonts if possible can also be helpful, since what you're printing may not even end up on a second page.
