Results from all FETCHers:

This Week:

21 FETCHers each used on average 121 pieces of paper.

If all these kids used just 5 fewer pieces of paper each day, FETCHers would use 0 fewer trees in one week.

So, how can you reduce the number of pieces of paper you use?

• Use both sides of the paper (use the other side for scrap paper).
• Only print what you really need to from your computer.
• When you print from your computer, change the layout so it prints two pages on one piece of paper.
• Ask your teachers to e-mail notes, newsletters & homework instead of printing them.
• Recycle paper when you're done with it.
• Get your friends and family to join this challenge!

You want to do even MORE?

• Talk to your teachers about how to use less paper in the classroom.
• When you buy paper and envelopes, make sure they're at least 30% post-consumer recycled content.
• Use emails instead of paper mail.
• Ask your parents to try paperless or online banking.
• Ask your parents if you can cancel unwanted catalogues.
• Ask your parents to have your junk mail stopped.
• Ask your parents to try reading electronic books and articles.
