Easy ways to save paper

There's a great (and superusable) tip on IdealBite today. Evidently, reducing your margins on Word docs can save reams upon reams of paper.

2. Print two pages per sheet. Most peoples' eyes can handle two to four pages per sheet.

3. Set computer printing defaults to two-sided.

4. Ask your office to purchase 100 percent post-consumer-recycled office paper from a eco-conscious office-supply company. (Our offices buy from Colorado-based Eco-Products.

5. Only print when you have to!
