How do people waste paper?

Answer 1

• Paper is wasted whenever you throw away a page because of one mistake.
  
• Paper is wasted when you use 20 pieces of toilet tissue instead of 10.
  
• Paper is wasted when you use paper towels instead of a washable cloth.
  
• Paper is wasted when you print on only one side instead of printing double sided.
  

You reduce paper consumption by not wasting paper (see the examples above)!

Answer 2

People waste paper by printing unnecessary documents, using paper cups and plates instead of reusable ones, and not recycling paper products when they are done using them. Additionally, writing on only one side of the paper or discarding paper that still has space for use are also common ways that paper is wasted.

Answer 3

There is a huge problem that happens when you chose to waste paper. Extra trees are cut down in the forest that do not need to be cut down.

Answer 4

None.

Some uninformed people claim we'll run out of forests but they don't know that technology allows us to use as much paper as we want.

Answer 5

Taking a piece out expecting to use it, not using it then just throwing it away in a trash can.
