The 3 'R's of environmental stewardship
(Reduce, Reuse, Recycle)

Reduce: Don't buy as much paper. Buy paper with recycled content: office paper, tissues, paper towels (or use cloth napkins and towels and don't buy any paper).

Reuse:  Do you have to throw it out, or can it be used again? Use the blank backside of paper when possible. Take boxes and packing materials to Mailboxes USA, or give them to businesses that do shipping.

Recycle.  Paper, boxboard, cardboard, envelopes with windows...all go in the blue box.
