How to not waste paper?

Question

i started reading stories from the internet this week as pastime, but i decided to print it so my eyes wont be tired...i use normal paper in printing, but i feel guilty im wasting paper because after i read the stories i keep them in my drawer, and i predict after a few months il might be throwing them away since theyre not important... so any suggestions?

Answer 1

Start by getting recycled paper...the stuff sold as "copier paper" will work in most printers. This is cheaper and already recycled once.

Shape up the papers you printed and use the other sides for other similar short-term printing jobs.

Then put them into a paper recycling bin, so they can come back again as recycled paper.

You can set up your screen fonts to be bigger and easier to read. Just save interesting things to your hard drive and read them at leisure, off-line.

Computers were supposed to bring us the PAPERLESS OFFICE.....ha ha ha. Old days, 1 or 2 copies of something would be handed around. Now everyone prints out their own copy THEN tosses it out. Or worse, files it away then prints another when they can't find the first.

You can recycle it on your own! All you need is a blender and something flat that would strain the excess water! Google how you can recyle paper on your own. They might not be quality paper but you could use them for scratch and stuff!

Answer 3

It's not only paper you are wasting...ink and energy that runs your printer as well. Reduce your monitor brightness.

Answer 4

Don't use paper.  Can't you copy and paste the stories to be read later on a file.  Change your screen to one that does not tire your eyes.  If you must print to read then use both sides of the paper and recycle when you're done.  Train your mind to say for each paper I use, one tree had to die for it.

Answer 5

Answer 7

Use 100% recycled paper to begin with, use both side of the paper for printing, then recycle it again when you are done.

Answer 8

When you've finished, recycle it!

heath answer shows that you need to read before you post an answer. what a tool. and also if you want to save on paper then stop wasting it cause you cant read it on computer screen. buy a new monitor or turn up the refresh rate. low refresh  rates will irritate the eyes. also make the letters bigger in your browser go up to view and down to text size. got it? get it? good?
