How to reuse paper




Reuse, Reduce, Recycle
Difficulty: Easy

Instructions


  1. 1
    Save paper that has print on only one side. This paper can be reused in a variety of ways: for writing lists or notes, as drawing or coloring paper for children, for home printing that doesn't need to be professional, or shred it and use it as garden mulch or packing material.

  2. 2
    Save toilet paper rolls and paper towel rolls. These can be used for school or home art projects. They can also be used for starting seeds.

  3. 3
    Save tissue wrapping paper. It can be reused for wrapping another gift, as packing material, or for protecting Christmas ornaments for storage.

  4. 4
    Save junk mail. It can be used to make lists, as scratch paper, for a child's drawing, or shredded for packing material or garden mulch.

  5. 5
    If you have some paper left that hasn't been reused through some method above, don't throw it away! Recycle it by taking it to your local recycle drop-off, or use it for home recycling. Home paper recycling is the art of making new paper from old paper. For instructions see, "How to Recycle Paper at Home," from the links below.


Tips & Warnings


  • It's easy being green! The earth will love you for it.

  • When shredding paper for garden mulch, it's best to use paper made from water-based ink. Water-based ink is non-toxic.

  1. I do hope that others will also come to realize this and do something with their old newspapers, printed copies of documents (which can also be disposed through shredding Houston) or even wrapping paper so that our problems with waste can be reduced. This reminds us to try to re-use or re-purpose as much items as we can to avoid wastage and printed copies of documents as well as old newspapers are among these. Thanks for sharing!
