For every tonne of paper recycled the savings are:
1. At least 30 000 litres of water.
2. 3 000 – 4 000 KWh of electricity (enough for a 3 bedroom house for one year).
3. 95% of air pollution as compared to “virgin” paper.
I’m sure you’ve all printed off an email or document that you didn’t really need to. The key to saving paper is not to print in the first place! If you do need to print, that’s ok! It is understandable that some things need to be printed out, however when you’re done with the paper there are things you can do to help:
▪ Look on the reverse of your print out. If it’s blank you can use it again as note paper before you recycle it. Saving twice the amount of paper!
▪ Make sure you put it in the PAPER RECYCLING BINS if you have them. And if not, get some! It’s not difficult, if you spot someone throwing paper into their desk bin, STOP THEM!

Hey folks I hear that its best for the enviroment to ues white toilet paper, as it contains no toxic dye.
So dont go for the colour to match your bathroom tiles unless they are white! Also 1 to 3 sheets should suffice for each sitting =P Good luck with that...
You read that in the Metro 'get it off your text' didn't you? hehe
