Eco-Tip 3

Every week we'll post another easy tip to help you be environmentally friendly.

Eco-Tip 3

Print on both sides of the paper! If your printer can print on both sides (look in the properties - finishing menu for this, usually) make use of it. The benefits are many: you don't need to replace paper as often, your assignment is half as heavy, it's twice as hard to lose and it cuts down your consumption of paper by 50%! This might just be the easiest and most effective tip ever. If your printer doesn't print on both sides, you can print the odd pages, replace them into the printer and print the even pages (it will take a few runs to see what orientation makes it print properly). If/when your printer breaks, you should definitely buy one that lets you print on both sides. Even if it's slightly more expensive, remember, you'll save half the money you used to spend on paper.
