Do you use one side blank papers or throw them away?

I will use the back side,I think it's a good habit and can save money and resource. I also use them in my office, except special documents.

...Hi Buchi_bulla, Sometimes I will use both sides of a sheet of paper, but your question is making me think that I should do more of that. It is wasteful to only use one side of the paper and toss it in the trash. I once saw an article of tips, and they said that they take the envelopes that their mail comes in and open them up for use as note paper. I have never gotten into the habit of that yet. But I will start to make use of both sides of the sheets of paper I use. Thank you.

I use it to print rough drafts of poetry. I use it to print e-mails. I use to write out to do list, grocery lists, shopping lists and leave notes for my assistants. I hate being wasteful. We only have one planet.

Occasionally I may just toss it in my fifth grade-esque cardboard box full of paper to recycle. More often than not though the paper finds itself folded into fourths and various notes to self scrawled across it. Then it gets tucked under my keyboard until I decide to see what all I have under there. If I'm not at the computer the paper takes an assignment in the dreaded back pocket, from which few pieces of paper ever return. Though I've taken to carrying those fat little coil bound books in my pocket to write things on. I'd prefer something old-school though, with a proper spine and all that.

Hello Buchi_bulla. This school term, I had an intern for two months and I have learned a lot from her in making good use of the paper. Each time she helped me to have some papers printed, she used to have the printing lady to use both sides of the paper. Now I am doing the same. I think that I should have more teachers make use of the paper this way to save more paper. It is a good idea of yours, friend.

I purposely look for these so that I can take notes on them while in school or doing homework.

I use the back side of papers also. I like to have scrap paper laying around so I can jot things down on it. It saves me alot of new paper by using the blank side of anothert that has already been used.

it just depends, I don't have a lot of paper I print out any more, so I don't have too many of them, I actually have note paper to write on - but even then I'm as apt to open my phone's note application and write there.

Hi, we do the same at the office - recycling the printed sheets and using the blank sides for work paper or notes. We also do that at home as well. It's such a waste to throw them away. Like you, I cut them into quarters and use these for notes or memos.

Theres no way i would waste it, not only for the eco factors, but I mean no matter if you paid 1$ or 10$, that was your money paying for the paper product. And besides it looks totally clean on the other side. Some of my many uses for the other side are: I print fresh alignment sheets for my printer, or I will cut the sheets into 4 squares and staple them to make little notepads, cutting them into strips can be great for a quick bookmark and I really like using them as small place mats when I am eating while working on the computer, nothing sucks like getting a grease/goop stain on the keyboard or desk. There are just so many ways heck you could even search for some origami online and have some quick fun.

when on the office we may use thos one side blank papers for the office print again and then cut it .but at home sometimes we do not like to use the one side paper often and even we can't use any paper at all. one computer will do most everything and no need to write much.

I use just about every square inch of the paper! I write lists, notes, reminders, lyrics and poems all over a sheet of paper; both sides! Then I make sure I have it all copied off and put in its proper category before I toss it!!

I usually use the back side of it to either jot down notes or cut them into pieces and make it like a note pad. Currently I give them to my son so he can use it to either cut it or just draw on it. It really depends on the time and season when it is available.

I use one side papers. When they are lying around, more sustainable I guess.

If it's a specific document I only use one side, because that's what my printer will do, but if I'm just printing out a groccery list, or a test page, or something stupid that I'll just end up using for scraps later, then I'll use both sides of the sheet, and get the most use out of it that I can.

I used both side of the paper. When I am printing documents, when it is not be transfer out in the office I used the back page for my other docs and production schedules. I even compiled it and use it as a scratch paper. We do not waste paper at work because even paper is expensive. It is more economical to use the backpage of the paper. We've been doing this since from the start.

Never waste a one sided paper! If you don't need it, you can sent it to my office as well :p We have 3 branch office, each month they sent one-side blank paper (used paper) to our office. And we make full extent of that paper for internal report. Even if they have been used on both side, I, personally, still filter them out and cut the empty space on that paper and clip it together and used it as a memo. Besides, used paper also can be used to laminate :)

hi,friend,yes really useful discussion.I had a habit of making them as book and give then to children for their MATHS rough book,since 12 years i am doing the same as this habit was inherited by my grand mother...some times i give them to neighbour children who are poor to spend on books. Have a nice time.

Yes,i do it like you.Everyday we will have many these papers with back side plain.It is too waste if we throw them away,so i collected them ,stapled in book,and than went on use it at the back side. I still remember when i was in school, my classmates stapled the scartch paper and reuse. It is good for our environment.

Hello Buchi, I do that some times when I just feel that I have too many papers to use. But doing so would be wasting the trees :( sorry for my bad english
