Waste-Free Wednesday: Take Note of This
This week for Waste-Free Wednesday, I’m going “paper-free.” Since most of my business is online, it’s pretty easy for me to avoid using paper at work. In fact, my printer is used so infrequently that it has had the “low-ink” light on for three years and it’s still going strong!
But I have found that my kids and I use a lot of paper just in notes and doodles that we leave for one another. For the most part, we all try to use both sides of a piece of paper in the recycling, but wouldn’t it be great if we didn’t have to use the paper at all?
Enter Science Aide reusable scratch paper and study sheets. These ingenious sheets let you go paper-free while you doodle, sketch, make lists, take notes, or draw. Created by college students, these sheets were originally intended as a way to help students graph, sketch, chart, and take notes without using reams upon reams of paper. And while many of the sheets are geared toward science students (such as the Organic Chemistry Reaction Table Sheet or the Cardiovascular Physiology Guide) the blank sheets are perfect for anyone and anywhere. My kindergartner loves to use them to draw doodles and write notes, my three year old uses them to scribble, and I use them for writing notes and to-do lists.
Are you ready to go paper-free? If so, you’re in luck! This week, ScienceAide is giving away a sample pack of reusable sheets to one lucky reader. Just leave a comment below to enter! One winner will be chosen at random on Monday, March 9th. Check out these reusable sheets in this video:

They look great! Thanks for the contest.
I’ve been trying to go paper free in my small business… I get most of my financial statements online, and lots of people don’t need or want receipts… but I still seem to have invoices, purchase orders, and shipping lists on paper. I’ll keep trying! I’d like to check out this reusable paper for all the scratch notes.

WOW! This is fantastic! With a little (15 months) budding artist, a musician husband (always working on charts) and my freelance jobs (generates lots of post it’s, notebook usage and invoices) this sounds like our family would be able to save many trees with this amazing product! We would be delighted to win such an environmentally contributory item!
Thanks,
Jesse

Hi I was searching for reliable information on supplies for wide format printers. Your site was listed on Google in this category, you have an informative site.
With havin so much content do you ever run into any issues of plagorism or copyright violation? My site has a lot of unique content I’ve either created myself or outsourced but it looks like a lot of it is popping it up all over the internet without my permission. Do you know any techniques to help protect against content from being ripped off? I’d definitely appreciate it.

So nice to search out somebody with some authentic thoughts on this subject. realy thank you for beginning this up. this website is something that is needed on the web, someone with slightly originality. helpful job for bringing something new to the internet!
