Save Papers
This document provides tips for saving paper by reducing unnecessary paper usage and printing. It notes that Indians on average use much less paper per person each year than people in developed countries, due to conservative attitudes. Using a handkerchief instead of tissues can help reduce paper waste, as can switching to electronic versions of newspapers, TV, and radio. Printing should also be avoided when possible. Cutting down trees for paper can damage the environment, but in India most paper comes from recycled waste or agricultural residues rather than wood.
