Reduce Your Paper Consumption
 Reducing your paper consumption is one of the easist ways to minimize your environmental impact. Below are some tips for how to go paperless!
 Print Double-Sided: Set your printers at home and at the office to automatically print on both sides of the page and cut your paper costs in half!
Re-Use Scrap Paper: If you have paper that is blank on one side, take it to a local printing shop and ask them to bind it with a cardboard back to create a cheap and responsible notepad.
Phone Books: Over 540 million phone books are printed in the United States each year. Sign up here to stop the delivery of unsolicited phone books.
Junk Mail: Visit the National Waste Prevention Coalition's Business Junk Mail Prevention Project for step-by-step junk mail prevention.
E-billing: Call up your utility, phone and internet companies and ask them to switch you from printed billing to e-billing. Most companies allow you to receive and pay bills online now, which cuts down on unnecessary paper waste and leaves an electronic record of your payment history. In fact, why not start with your CleanScapes bills? Download our e-billing request form for Seattle or Shoreline.
Online Banking: Switching from printed bank statements to online bank statements cuts paper use and reduces the risk that your confidential account information ends up in the wrong hands.
Buy 100% Recycled Paper: The Paper Calculator quantifies the resources you save by using paper with high recycled content or by reducing your paper consumption.
Get your news on the web: Most journals and newspapers offer their publications online.
