1 Recycle in a smart way. Some good ways to do this are:
- Throw paper and cardboard in a bag separately from cans, glass and plastics
- Look for tips on recycling so you know that your efforts will be rewarded with recycled material
- Cut down on and share magazines; return unwanted catalogs to the sender
2 Before printing a picture or document, ask yourself, “Do I really need to print this out?”
3 Try to use both sides of your papers. Make a draft box where you put all the papers that have been printed on one side and use them as draft papers
4 Try to use non-“glossy” newspapers, as they are difficult to recycle due to their topped coat of clay
5 Stop cutting trees. Remember to plant trees
6 Re-use wrapping paper. Wrapping paper is hard to recycle
7 Give a small tree. Small trees make beautiful gifts when going to a dinner or to a neighbor’s house
8 Use scrap paper whenever you can. When writing down phone messages, instead of writing them on a new sheet, pull out a piece of scrap paper from the recycling
