These are a few of the things I do to reduce, reuse and recycle papers:
1 Use both side of the envelops.
I will turn the inside out of all the envelops I received and turn them inside out and glue them back into an envelop again. If it is plain, I will use them like any other new envelop. If the inside has designs, I will save them to store small pieces of receipts for tax purposes.
2 We get mailers and advertisements in print and when they used only 1 side of the paper,
I will save it use the other empty side. If they are very thick and glossy, I will fold them into paper boxes to store away small items like paper clips or batteries.
3 Old magazines
Cut the old magazines in same size long diamond shape strips. Glue one side and roll the glued side up. It will form a nice colors cocoon. I did as many as I can let the to dry. After collecting about 200pcs, I will chain them up in strings and use it as curtains.
