With back to school in full swing... this is a great time to learn about printing your own paper. This in itself might read as a little confusing because your not making paper - you are just printing a design on it. Yes, my friends, you can now create your own notebook paper, graph paper, or really any kind of specialty paper - absolutely free. No strings attached. How is this a good deal? Well, for most people, even the least expensive notebooks you can buy have so much paper and then inevitably it gets lost, or you go to a keggar and spill beer all over it, or the only use for it after that semester is to hold your milk crate coffee table level - you get the gist of what I am saying, right?
If you print out your own paper you can print only what you need - which will help the environment. You can probably use the computers at school (or work) to print these out and then not have to worry about the added expense of printer paper, ink, and electricity. Win-win for everyone! You can help save the environment while at the same time saving some money in your wallet. All you need then is just a 3 ring binder - which are very cheap or free everywhere - and the use of a 3 hold punch (also can be found everywhere).
This is not only back to school stuff, mind you. You can print out other papers you might need such as a Printable Monthly Budget, Yahtzee Score Card, or Games for the you and the kids. You can even find some paper templates that you can use to print something fancy-looking, and in color. Maybe you need a quick gift idea but you have been totally broke and eating top ramen for months - try printing a Calendar - and then just add your own images and little personal touches. That might sound corny but some of the best gifts I have ever gotten (and continue to keep around) have been made my hand.
Printing your own paper templates will also help, little by little, the further destroy the big, evil, paper conglomerates who are destroying the environment. It can be your own personal little way to give the old heave-ho to the companies that kept you a slave up until the mid-nineties (when the internet helped you regain your independence). I understand the website looks like something you would see on angelfire circa 1997 - but the templates work and its free! So - what are you waiting for? Download, print, and save yourself some money today!
