This amount of paper can put strain on the supply of trees due to the large amount of wood necessary to create wood pulp for paper usage. Luckily, there are a number of steps that students can take to reduce their paper consumption. The following tips can act as a springboard for students to limit paper usage. Buy e-books: Textbooks frequently run over 300 pages, and this many pages would be saved by buying electronic books. More and more textbooks are now available online, some with added features which could aid in studying. E-books are easy to use as they are accessible through a number of devices and they have the added bonus of usually being less expensive. Buy used: Used textbooks also help to save a large amount of paper and these have the added benefits of low cost and important sections are sometimes highlighted. Cut flashcards in half: Flashcards are certainly a good way to study, but using a whole flashcard can be wasteful. Instead of using an entire flashcard cut it in half (or smaller, if you fancy), and you will double the amount of flashcards with no further cost. Print only the necessities: If you can quickly access a docu- ment online, there is not really reason to print. Save paper and the cost of printing by only printing what is needed. Share materials: Class readings and even books can be —Julia Ratekin/TRUMPET shared between students. By sharing, students can cut the need for additional printing and usage of paper. Most professors would even encourage this as it may encourage out-of-class Correction: discussions.
