Before throwing away a piece of used sticky notepad, use it to clean the computer keyboard - just slide the sticky side between the keys and see particles or hair strands within get stuck almost instantly!
Retain brochures and mailers that are printed on a single side since the other blank side can be used to scribble messages, shopping lists and etc.
Share or borrow magazines and newspapers from friends or the library.
Bring a personal shopping bag whenever it is time to shop.
Tear off pages from unwanted magazines to line the shelves of a shoe cabinet or inside a shoebox.
While carrying books or magazines in a bag, keep them crease-free by putting them inside a used envelope.
For used envelopes that much bigger in size, pack slippers and shoes in them the next time you are going travelling.
Unused envelopes that are glued together can be separated. They will open right up once they come under a hair dryer or simply place them in a microwave for a minute.
Get a hole or paper puncher and punch on magazines to make confetti.
When envelopes turn yellow, cover the stains by pasting punch-out paper cuttings or by drawing something over each spot (like a smiley face or a snowflake). If the spots are well dispersed, color the whole envelope with colored pencils or draw and color stripes, squares or dots. Do likewise for aging greeting cards.
Save the covers of used greeting cards and turn them into gift tags.
Print email messages only when necessary.
Circulate just one document instead of making copies for each person.
