7. Why Reduce Paper?
To make paper, we need to
take one of our most
important natural resources –
Trees.
Trees:
• Help clean the air we
breath by absorbing
greenhouse gases;
• Help us breathe by
recycling carbon dioxide
into oxygen;
• Provide shelter and habitat
for animals; and
• Are beautiful to look at and
fun to play around.

8. Reducing Paper
•

•
•
•
Printing double-sided can
reduce your paper usage
by 50%.
Encourage your teachers
to allow double-sided
assignments.
Only print what is
necessary.
Use both sides of the page
in your notebooks.
If you make a mistake, use
your eraser instead of
getting a new sheet.

9. Go Digital!
•
•
•
•
Do your assignment online
Edit assignments onscreen and only print your
final copy.
Bookmark pages instead
of printing.
Save files to your
computer instead of
printing

10. Reusing Paper
•
Keep a bin in your
classroom for collecting
scrap paper.
•
Use scrap paper for things
like rough drafts and math
calculations.
•
Collect paper from the
copy room that has only
been printed to one side
to make notebooks.

11. Recycling Paper
•
37% of the waste we
throw away every day is
paper
•
It is important to recycle
any paper that can’t be
reduced or reused.
•
Recycling saves our
natural resources and
energy.

12. Save a Tree
Reduce is the first of the 3R’s
because it’s the most
important.
The best thing we can do for
the environment is reduce
first, then reuse and then
recycle.
When we reduce the amount
of paper we use, we help the
environment by saving trees.
