Top 10 Paper Reduction Tips1. Become conscious of your paper

consumption. Do you have ideas about changes you can make to use less paper?

2. Print and copy on both sides of the paper (duplex).

3. Save space and paper by storing your documents electronically.

4. Send, request and circulate electronic copies instead of paper.

5. Use Print Preview to only print the pages you need instead of an entire document.

6. Use the "Tools/Track Changes" function to edit and share documents electronically for review.

7. Give paper a "second chance" by using the back side of already printed paper for draft and internal documents, or to stock the paper tray in your fax machine.

NOT CONFIDENTIAL DOCS!

8. Make one-sided “oops” print outs into scratch paper pads.

9. Before printing, check to remove blank pages, consolidate with extended margins or smaller type-size, and print graphics on an "as-needed" basis.

10.Print multiple images per sheet for PowerPoint slides or drafts. For example 4 slides per side, double sided, instead of one slide, single sided will save 7 sheets of paper.

Printing servicesTake a look at your publications and mailings: Can you reduce the font size, reduce the margins, use

lighter weight paper? Allow people to have the option to download an electronic

copy Email it as an attachment.

Think about the types of materials and processes offered by your printing company:

Are they using recycled paper? Do they offer soy/vegetable based inks? Do they have energy and water conservation

policies?
