if less papers are used production will decrease and thus less trees will be cut for making papers.
but practically it is not possible because an entire country will have to stop using paper to stop production!!!

1Don’t use products that come withexcessive packaging.One of the biggest culprits for creating paper waste is consumer packaging that’sused to wrap and label food, toys, clothes, and other goods. To help save paper, buy products that have been made with minimal or no packaging.*.Many of today’s consumer items are wrapped multiple times, such as a candy that comes in an individual wrapper, within a bag that’s also placed inside a box. Instead, look for packaging that has a sticker instead of a full box, for instance, or a tag instead of anentire container. Similarly, buy items that haven't been wrapped multiple times.*.Buying in bulk is a good way to reduce paper waste from packaging. Next time you or your family go shopping, make sure you take reusable bags, and buy what you can in bulk.2Encourage your favorite companies to save paper.Unless consumers like you tell companies what you do and don’t like about their products and practices, they may not get the message. If it bothers you that certain companies waste too much paper, write them an email or call them to say you want them to join the fight to save the trees.*.To get a company’s contact information, check their website for a phone number or email address.*.For instance, if a company you like uses too much packaging andwastes paper, tell them you want to see more innovative and less wasteful packaging.3Dine in instead of using takeout containers at restaurants.Another large contributor to paper waste is takeout food containers, which are often made of paper products or packed in paper bags. Next time you and your family decide to eat out for a meal, request that you sit down in the restaurant instead of taking the food in to-go containers.*.Most fast food restaurants use paper products to individually wrap all food, so ask your family ifyou can eat at a conventional sit-down restaurant for your next night out.4Be selective about what you print.At home, at school, and at work, you can save paper by cutting downon the amount of material you print off. Before you print anything, ask yourself if you really need a paper copy, and only print something if you must.*.When you do need to print something off, reduce the font, increase the margins, and print onboth sides of the paper so the project can be printed on fewer pieces of paper.[1]*.If teachers and employers require that you hand in paper copies of projects and assignments, ask if you can instead submit them electronically.*.Before you print off an assignment, letter, or personal project, proofread it on the computer so you don’t have to print off a second draft.5Send, receive, and store electronicrecords instead of paper copies.Most documents these days can beshared and stored electronically, meaning you don’t have to print off paper copies for your records. For instance, if you need a copy of an electronic document, request that it be sent to you by email.*.For sensitive documents that shouldn’t be emailed, ask if you can save a copy directly to a flash drive.*.In the case where an original paper copy already exists and you need a record for your files, scan a version to your computer instead of making a photocopy.[2]*.When you need to provide copies of documents to friends, family, teachers, or people at work, ask if you can transmit files electronically using sharing services, email, or other electronicmethods.6Opt for paperless communications.Many companies and organizations offer electronic correspondences that can replace paper copies they traditionally send in the mail.[3]Whenever possible, sign up for paperless communications for items like:*.Bills*.Newsletters*.Monthly mailings*.Flyers and coupons*.Newspaper and magazine subscriptions7Use electronic calendars and day timers.There are plenty of free calendars and schedulers available online that you can use to plan your days, keep track of dates and assignments, and schedule meetings and interviews. By using an electronic calendar, you can save the paper that would have been used on a calendar, organizer, journal, or other type of scheduler.*.Both Google and Apple provide free calendar products.*.There are also plenty of calendar apps that you can use on smartphones or tablets.8Encourage others to save paper.In order to have an even bigger impact, you can also encourage friends, family, classmates, and coworkers to save paper as well. One of the best ways to reach the most people is to put up signs around the house, school, or office that inform people how they can help.*.There are lots of signs that you can print off from the internet thatwill help raise awareness about the importance of saving trees. The WWF has signs you can download and print.*.Make sure you print or draw your signs on reused paper (like the back of an old assignment).*.Trash containers and recycling bins are a great place for signs.Advertisement
