Sustainability today means more than just changing out the light bulbs, carpooling and biking. There are many other opportunities available that help to reduce carbon footprint and saving trees is a huge part of it. Think about how they say that 17 trees make only one ton of paper when printing out numerous documents! Here are a few tips that will help you to save forests.

1. Choose eco-friendly print shops: Opt for print shops that use recycled paper and offer double side printing.
2. Print only what you need: Sounds obvious right?
3. Measure twice, cut once: Proofread, proofread, proofread.
4. Get your printing done on the go: Blackberries and wireless laptops give you the freedom of mobility. But how do you get your printing done on the road? Let your fingers do the walking, and use the Internet to find the print shop that is closest to where your documents need to be. This eliminates the need for shipping which can have a far more significant environmental impact than you might otherwise consider.
5. Store and share your documents online: You can reach out to your colleagues to review a presentation without having to print and share hard copies of the drafts.
