May's Eco-tips (See June's eco tips here):
Reducing paper consumption

Editing drafts electronically: Use the “track changes”, "edit" and "comment" features in your word processing program, instead of writing notes on paper.

Manage documents online: Try using software like Microsoft SharePoint or Google Docs to collaborate with your peers instead of passing along more papers.

Be concise: A great way to reduce paper is simply to write less.  Organize your thoughts and communicate clearly and concisely.  Keep your letters to one page whenever possible.

Publish online: Rather than printing a newsletter or letter, try creating an online version instead.  You can create a blog or PDF rather than a traditional printed newsletter.

Print Less: Printing is one of the biggest opportunities to reduce your paper consumption.  Taking the time to think about each print job before you hit “print” can make a significant difference.

Print to PDF: If you want to save something you read online, try saving it as a PDF instead of on paper.  Simply "print to PDF” to generate a PDF of any document.  There are several free PDF solutions available online.

Print on both sides: Newer printers can automatically handle duplex printing, and you should be able to change your print settings to print documents on both sides of a piece of paper.

Update your letterhead: There are a number of small changes you can make to your letterhead to make it hold more words per page.  Use a smaller font, make your margins slightly wider, and make your headers and footers as small as possible.

Print preview: Many pages print with a blank page at the end.  Take a moment to view a “print preview” and you can avoid unnecessary and extraneous pages at the end of your document.

Avoid extra copies: Print the minimum number of copies you need and make additional copies later if you need them.

Reuse paper: Use the back of pages that have already been printed for your printer, fax machine, and for scratch paper instead of using new sheets.
