Recently the point's been driven home that our planet only has finite resources and we're almost at the point of running out, or running low at the very least. Not only that, but it makes sense not to be so wasteful in what we use, and to not add any strain on our eco system with the making of certain products. Some people may say that's hippie talk, but it makes a lot more sense that thinking they'll make more and use up what we have while what we had is filling up our landfills taking forever to decompose.
Working on improving my recycling since the local trash service started offering to take recycleables involves changing a lot of habits that have taken years to develop. I'm still working on what I can put in the recycleables. But having the mindset of not wasting resources can help everyone when it comes to conserving paper. Even something as simple as using both sides of the paper in your notebooks, or clicking on print preview so you only print what you need and don't have that little bit printed on the last page that's just a banner ad or something else you didn't want to print would help as well. And Dolphin Blue is a good source for eco-friendly office supplies. It is the only online source where all products contain recycled materials. It costs more because government subsidies go to tree harvesters for paper, but between shopping for all of your natural resources with them, and cutting down on the use, you could end up saving money and helping out on the recycle movement.
