10 things graphic designers can do to conserve paper
1. Explore materials outside of paper.
2. Make use of digital media.
3. Make your design count. Wasted design is wasted materials.
4. Design from the cradle to the cradle. Make your designs useful in their afterlives.
5. Spread the word. You can do a lot by saving paper but you can do so much more by convincing a nation to do the same.
6. Print sparingly. If you need to view the design on paper print it in a small scale.
7. Bigger is not always better. However if it is necessary make use of recycled paper to reduce waste.
8. Recycle old sketch books. If you really want to save them use a computer to scan the images into a digital format.
9. Reuse old sketch books. The erasure is a powerful tool.
10. If printing in bulk invest in the recycled papers available.
