Were you aware that paper trash makes up approximately half of what goes into urban landfills? Taking steps to reduce our paper use will help preserve trees and other natural resources, not to mention reduce this needless amount of waste going into landfills.
Finding ways to cut back on the amount of paper used and even learning how to go “paperless” is becoming more popular among people of all walks of life. With the newer digital gadgets it isn’t even hard now to stop using many of the items that we used to have on paper. You don’t need a hard copy calendar anymore! You don’t even need as much notepaper as used to be necessary. Jotting down appointments and notes to yourself on your phone or computer is very easy to do.
Going green not only saves the planet, it can save us money, too.
