Ways to save paper

-

  Saving paper at our work, home or even school is important. Saving paper is saving trees! Paper is made from trees. Trees help clean the air for us so that we can breathe. Humans breathe in oxygen and breathe out carbon dioxide. Trees breathe in carbon dioxide and breathe out oxygen. Trees do this at night when we are sleeping so in the morning when we wake up, we have fresh oxygen. Here are some amazing ways to save paper everyday:


  • Fill the whole page: Whether you're using lined paper or blank white paper, fill the entire page instead of taking one more extra page. 
  • Use both sides: When I say fill the whole page, some people might go with just fill one side of the page fully and not remember that there are 2 sides. Use both sides, why else are they there?
  • Do work online when possible: If you can do something online instead of on paper, do it! Why not? You can easily do it with the same amount of work online and at the same time save some paper!
  • Recycle it: If you don't need to keep the paper, just recycle it. It's pretty easy. 
  • Think before you print: Before you print, remember to consider whether you really do need to print it. Maybe you can just use it off of your device or maybe you don't really need so many copies. There are so many things to consider. 

There are so many ways to save paper anywhere. These are just a few! If you have any ideas, feel free to share them in the comments. After this post we hope you continue conserving and using paper properly.

Storm Drain Troubles

-
      Many of us have not noticed this, but our storm drains are playing an important part in our environment. They were made to take our rain to water bodies so that they wouldn't flood our communities. That was working out just great until our trash started making it into the water bodies. When it rained, our litter and trash that was just lying around on the streets was pulled into the storm drains along with the storm water. Similar to Microplastics, the trash is eaten by water creatures and other animals that live in an ocean habitat.  You all have probably heard or seen a 'Save the Turtles' campaign. These campaigns are caused to be created because of the turtles death. The death of these turtles are directly connected to Microplastics and those storm drain littering problems. For Turtles in particular, we are most aware of the plastic straw problem where turtles are eating straws. Similar to that other big plastic bottles are being eaten by turtles, fish, and ...

A Penny Problem

-
 Did you know that the penny costs 3 times it's value to make? The US mint spent 707 million dollars making coins last year and almost 60% of coins churned out by the US mint were pennies. Even more importantly, the US mint lost over 72 million dollars making pennies last year. To further think about it, If you lost a $20 bill, would you look for it? You probably answered yes, because $20 can be considered a considerable amount, but if you lost a penny, would you look for it? Most people would answer no, because 1 cent is such a small amount which is rarely used and doesn't really make a difference, but the un-noticed fact is that over time, all those missing penny's can add up to a large total amount of lost money. The average family throws away 68 million dollars worth of coins in a year- meaning, the value of coins, and pennies in particular is not valued. With a 72 million dollar loss and the rare usage and common wastage of a penny, it is questionable whether the penny...
