A definition of sin is given in the book of James in the New Testament of The Bible. James , chapter 4 verse 17. Basically it says that if we know to to do what's right and do not do it, it is a sin. I guess we have to question our actions to see if they are sins. Is it right to waste anything? I personally was taught that being wasteful is not right but wrong so I would count it as a sin. Don't panic though because we have a very forgiving God. He sent his son to earth to die, a blood sacrifice for all of our sins ( John 3:16). All we have to do is believe this and our sins will be forgiven. Keep in mind though that Jesus Christ's death on the cross should not be used as a blank check for sin. When we see that we have sinned we should ask for forgiveness and try our best to turn from that sin and not repeat it. More than likely we will fail but we have to try. The bottom line is that you probablly won't be condemned for wasting paper but wasting paper wastes trees , energy , money, etc. We are all wasteful to some degree.

Apparently it contributes to landfills and we can recycle it.

Trees are renewable but if we over harvest they may become un-renewable and become extinct. Trees help the earth to recycle C02 and to spread out oxygen. We need oxygen to survive.

Wasting paper seems like a small thing but it stacks up really fast.

Global warming and greenhouse effects will continue and paper wasters contribute to destroying habitats.
