My Paper Waste

Management Checklist
Answer with a quick YES or a NO:

Do you use the paper (in any form) mindfully?
Do you discard the used paper consciously?

Now, if your answer to any one of the two aforementioned questions
is a ‘no’, then you need to convert it to a ‘yes’ for the good of the
environment. As Prime Minister Narendra Modi said in his 122nd
episode of ‘Mann ki Baat’ address, “We too should definitely contribute
to recycling by separating paper in our homes or offices. When every
citizen of the country thinks what better one could do for the country,
only then can we bring about a big change, together.”
So, here is a checklist to help you with mindful paper consumption and
waste management for your practical application:
At Home

I choose digital bills and subscriptions whenever possible.

I use both sides of paper for notes, lists, and drawings.
I reuse newspapers and magazines for storage or crafts.

I keep a dedicated bin for paper waste at home.

I locate and use the nearest recycling center to drop off paper
waste.
I buy paper products made from recycled materials.

I avoid unnecessary printing and use digital notes or reminders.

I use cloth towels or napkins instead of paper alternatives.
