Tip of the day to help save the earth - 4/17/08

By
Real Estate Agent with Windermere Real Estate

It's a very easy one today!  USE BOTH SIDES of paper if you have note paper, or taking notes in a class.  Don't just throw the paper away, make sure you RECYCLE when you're done completely!   Get useless paperwork from classes, junk mail, etc?  Don't just chuck them immediately, use them as scrap paper first.  Keep a few around for the next time you need to jot a number down.  Having a few around is a great way to keep yourself from wasting new sheets each time!


As always, feel free to comment with any questions or if you have anything to add!

Great idea, just pulled a bunch of paper from the wastebasket and will start using the backsides. Thanks!

Thanks Jonelle for your comments on saving the planet.  If we all did those simple steps we all would be better off.

In my office, we take all those listing sheets we print out and never use after showings - cut them in half, then staple a bunch together as note pads. Okay, I don't do it.  But someone does!

Great idea - and use the paper that gets left on the printer for notes to save more paper as well.
