Years ago it was all the buzz to go “paperless” in our office. It never happened! In our digital age why is there so much paper everywhere?
Tips we can do to STOP it!
Catalogs from stores you do not order from. If you do order from the stores, the catalog is on-line… use the internet. Unsubscribe them.
Junk mail - all those ads… check out Direct Marketing Assoc. website at DMAChoice.org - they will contact companies for you and get you off their mailing list.
Organize your life with a scanner. They are inexpensive and can scan everything from business cards to personal documents,photo's and more.
Newspapers are online. But if you love lingering over the morning paper, ok, but don’t let them pile up all over the house. Try a basket or tray (size of paper) and keep it there and then recycle when that basket is full.
Go through old stacks of stuff one box, drawer, stack at a time. Get a shredder, again not expensive, and start shredding. Keep your tax records, financial statements, birth certificates, etc. Shred things with your name, phone number, and social security number on it for security and piece of mind.
Keep paper under control…shred it or recycle it every day, every week.
