After a club meeting, you notice that there are a lot of leaflets left, and they are only printed on one side. Your friend is asking you to help throw them away.

Your group is preparing for a presentation, and everyone has found a lot of useful online material. A group member is asking you to print out about 50 pages of information for the group to read.

Your club is organising a meeting, including a game in which people should write down something about themselves to share with others. The club president is asking you to buy a lot of Post-it notes for the game.

Do not throw them away. We should reuse these leaflets by using the blank pages to take notes, which will save natural resources such as trees and water.

We shouldn’t print them all out. It is a waste of resources such as paper and ink. We can reduce the use of paper by reading and summarising the information on our computers first, and only printing out the most important parts. When we have to print something out, we should make sure we use both sides of the paper.

I think we should replace Post-it notes with something else. We can take turns to write on the board, or on the unused side of printouts. Alternatively, we can ask people to type on their smartphones, then we can project their introductions on a TV screen. It will be friendlier to the environment.
