It can be challenging going paperless at home or work, right?

The company wants to reduce office paper flow and save trees in honor of the national tree planting holiday.

Says WordenGroup principal Darla Worden:

“We’re always looking for ways to ‘green’ our office – and our lives. Arbor Day seemed the appropriate day to provide additional focus on saving paper ourselves – and challenging other businesses to follow suit…”

Here’s are the WordenGroup’s Top 10 Ways To Go Paperless:

1. “Send documents via e-mail or e-Fax.”

2. “Stop unwanted junk mail and catalog delivery with a service like Stopjunk.”

3. “Try not to print anything — but if you must, be sure to use 100% post-consumer recycled paper.”

4. “Spell-check before you print to eliminate document do-overs; and print only the page or passage you need out of a longer document.”

5. “Set your printer default for double-sided printing, and keep a box of “one-side-used” paper for writing notes or printing for in-house use.”

6. “Read an online newspaper.”

7. “Remember your coffee mug (no paper cups); and if you “brown bag” your lunch, replace that iconic paper sack with a reusable lunch bag.”

8. “Sign up for email bill delivery for online rather than paper statements, and pay your bills – and invoice clients – electronically.”

9. “Borrow books from the library or buy used books online.”

10. “Move office forms to electronic versions – Microsoft Office and Excel both have powerful form creation tools – or ask your computer support person to create a custom form.”
