Stop the madness of wasteful paper consumption

 

I pledge to avoid wasting paper in order to help share access to a limited resource.

I want to help to reduce the dramatically increasing paper consumption in the rich world which is connected, though irresponsible production, to threats to biodiversity, human rights abuses, land rights struggles, pollution and climate change.

By reducing my paper use I will give developing countries fairer access to paper and its benefits for cultural development, literacy and education.

I believe that my quality of life will not suffer if I use less paper. By doing so I will save money and create less waste.

I will:  

•  Print documents only when absolutely necessary.
•  Proof documents on my computer screen rather than printing.
•  Print everything double-sided.
•  Stop picking up leaflets, fliers and other advertising
•  Recycle all paper I use
•  Ask for recycled paper products
•  Invite a friend to join this action

Here is an exhuastive list on how to save paper

 WWF issued me a passport to work on any green projects. Do you want to get one ? get it
