how do we protect trees.
1. Throw paper and cardboard in a bag separately from cans, glass and plastics.
2.Don't make exceptions at restaurants. If a waiter/waitress brings you napkins, just say no nicely.
3.Before printing a picture or document, ask yourself, "Do I really need to print this out?" If you're writing a    paper for school, most teachers will accept neat handwritten work.
4.Try to use both sides of your papers. Use a printer that prints on both sides automatically e.g. HP Officejet Pro 8500 A909g Series or a similar printer of other make. Make a draft box(if you are in your office). Put in this box all the papers that have been printed on one side and use them as draft papers.
5.Make sure any paper you buy (toilet rolls, tissue papers, writing paper) comes from recycled sources.
6.Reuse paper bags or compost receipts and torn-up bank statements.
7. Reuse envelopes and make your own cards.
8.Ask your boss to buy recycled paper for your workplace.
9.Stop cutting trees. Remember to plant trees. Trees help the Earth and people. People should think before cutting down trees, "When I cut down trees, I am actually affecting the life of people on Earth."
10. Write letters to government officials, trying to persuade them to go as paperless as they can.
