Subscribe to online newspapers. Cancel your paper subscriptions and get your news online. Each year, 10 million tons of newspapers are tossed into landfills and aren't recycled. If just half of these were recycled, it would save 75 million trees.
Buy tickets online. Airline, movie and event tickets can be purchased online or by telephone and printed at home. You'll save time and paper waste. Print-at-home tickets use plain copy paper, which is easier to recycle than paperboard used for printed tickets.

Music and Movies Can Be Green, Too
Download music instead of purchasing it. Each month, more than 45 tons of CDs become obsolete, outdated, unwanted, unloved and left in landfills. The average price of a music CD is $15, whereas you can download an album for $9.99 from most services.
Rent, don't buy, movies. Are you really going to watch them over and over? Children sometimes do, but ask yourself how many of your purchased movies on the shelf you have watch repeatedly? One hundred thousand DVDs and CDs are thrown away each month, not to mention VHS tapes! They have almost no resale value. Don't contribute to the trash pile. There are streaming video services with large catalogs you can access to watch movies.
