In 2004 the United States used 8 million tons of office paper (3.2 billion reams). That’s the equivalent of 178 million trees! Here are some easy tips for reducing paper use at work:

• Reduce the default margin setting for your documents; you will be amazed at how many more words you can fit on one page!
• Use both sides of the page for copies; many copiers will produce 2-sided copies for you.
• Use scrap paper for printing drafts, notes, emails etc.;
• check that recycling bin and re-use paper that has only been printed on one side.
• Think twice before you print; do you really need to print out that email?
