Conserving Paper

By Laura Brown


Money, trees, lives, environment, your country and the world are some of the big things that you can preserve by saving small things such as paper. Different pro-environment groups and advocacies have been developed to raise their concerns about excessive production of paper. All products made out of paper came from trees and if more paper was produced, it only implies that a lot of trees were cut down. If businesses continued to bring down trees, mother Earth together with all the billion lives are prone to experience more catastrophes. It is time to save some paper and reduce such ecological waste.

Make Use of Alternatives

Lessening the use of paper is the best way to save it. Substituting papers with different things can make a very big change in the environment. So before writing you anger, frustration and worries in an innocent blank sheet of paper, you may want to ask yourself first if you can do it with the use of the new technology. Communication has changed significantly because of innovation. Now, you can post about what you feel and what you want to shout out in Facebook. You can also send your personal or business messages through email, SMS and chat. You can pay your bills online and you can also request to be sent through your email. Instead of buying a book, you can buy and download it to your computer and install it to your Kindle or other book device. All of these are guaranteed to reduce the use of paper.

You can also replace papers with cloth and reusable items. Think of every usage of paper in your household and research on their counterpart. Try making use of rags instead of paper towels, handkerchief instead of tissue, washable dishes such as plates made of porcelain instead of paper plates. Practice surviving the day without the use of paper and see the great difference on the amount of your daily or weekly garbage.

Recycle and Spreading the Word

Recycling of papers is a good way to save papers and this can be done in many ways. For companies, they are purchasing papers from the junk and make different products out of them. For an individual like you, making use of paper over and over again can help reducing waste and save papers. Make the most out of it by using both the front and the back, use them as a wrapper and make decorations out of them.

You can get involved in an environmental club and be spread the word about different benefits of saving paper. Be an educator by providing campaign materials on how to conserve paper and educate people on the bad effect of not saving paper. Support some groups that provide different ways to conserve papers and join their advocacies. By reaching out to other people who don't know, you can help to resolve one of the planet's environmental issues.
