Margins Matter
Look to the margins for change. No matter how often you're typing up memos or that awesome screenplay you've been working on, you can save paper by simply changing the margins. By making the margins on your typed documents smaller, you'll fit more on a page, thereby using fewer sheets of paper to get your point across. This may seem like a small act, but just imagine if large corporations set new margin standards on all of their correspondence. Sure, it may mean you have to write more on your term paper, but you'll be saving the earth while you pound out that book report.

I do this ALL the time! MS Word has the margins default at 1 inch for top and bottom, and 1.25 inches left and right. When I'm printing anything that's more than 1 page, I change the margin to .75 all around. It can save LOADS of paper. Great suggestion.
