Here is the exciting part of the blog where you can start to have a personal impact! Remember not to pressure yourself, it’s not easy to cut paper out of your life with a snap of your fingers. All my written notes for this blog can testify to that!
Figure 1. You got this. (Zentz, 2017)
Simple everyday actions:
- Don’t get a receipt when withdrawing money from a cash point/atm
- Recycle paper whenever and wherever you can
- Only consume what you need
- Think before you print! If you have to then:
- Print on both sides
- Use environmentally friendly paper
- Use more technology! (they can’t all be boring solutions)
- Write that shopping list on your phone
- Hand in that work assignment via email
- Buy that textbook online (or download if you must –> piracy>deforestation)
- Read newspapers online
- Cloud-based sharing sites like Dropbox, Google Docs etc. Allow easy communication.
- Tell your friends to do the same!
- Maybe even tell them about this blog? 🙂
Good luck!
