Saving Paper, Planting Trees

Even if you want to save the planet you may be unintentionally guilty of wasting paper. That’s because it’s estimated that the average employee wastes 6 pages of paper every day. You know, those mysterious blank pages in the middle of documents and that near-empty last page with just a line on it? Well, they can be history now thanks to Green Print. Touted as a way to save money today and trees tomorrow, Green Print helps reduce waste with their paper-saving software. And best of all, 1% of their sales goes to plant new trees. How much paper do you waste every day? How much could you save?

Plus there are other ways to cut down too. Don't print everything you create unless it's really necessary, and don't print every version of a document, just the final one. And use the documents you don't need to save (as long as they don't have company secrets on them!) for phone messages, to-do lists, grocery lists, etc. You can even take it home and let your kids use it the draw on.
