Tips to save paper and reduce waste

Double side your documents whenever possible. Printing on both sides takes half as much paper.
Reduce the margins and font size on your papers/projects. Keep in mind best reading is at about an 11 pt font size. Some projects will have set margins or you will need a wider margin if the document is being bound.
Use print preview and only print the pages you need.
Print multiple PowerPoint slides on one page. Go to Print Settings and change the print layout to Handouts and designate the number of slides you want to appear on each page (you can choose up to 9 slides). PaperCut will only count the single page, not the number of slides on the page.
Whenever possible, collaborate using electronic documents.
Think before you print: "Do I really need to print this email/webpage/assignment?".
