Reconsider Printing:
Do You Really Need to Print That?

Maybe Not

Ask yourself these questions before deciding to print:

Is this really my final copy?
Check it once more with Print Preview to make sure it looks the way you want it.
Can I read it another way?
Before printing something to read, consider other ways you could read it. You can print most document formats to PDF that can be read on your iPad, Kindle, Nook, Mac or PC.
Can I store it electronically?
Instead of filing important documents in paper files, store them electronically. Using an online service like Dropbox, you can access those files anywhere - much more convenient than carrying around a file cabinet.

There are tricks you can use to reduce the impact of printing on the environment:

Again, use Print Preview to prevent the need to print again.
Print only final copies of assignments.
Print double-sided.
Try narrower margins if it doesn't conflict with the required report style.
Ask your professor if she or he will accept and grade assignments electronically.
Use the printers at Campus Computing Sites to avoid having to power your own printer.
Always recycle paper when you no longer need it. Better yet, if it's blank on one side, use it as scratch paper and then recycle it. If you enjoy doing a little crafts to relax, search for "diy notepads" for lots of ideas.
