8 Ways To Save a Tree (or at least a part of it)

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
