1000 Flowers for the Planet - #124 Write Notes on Scrap Paper

1000 Flowers for the Planet - #124 Write Notes on Scrap Paper


Many of us tend to write notes or lists, little reminders for ourselves and others to help us in these busy lives we lead. There are lots of different pieces of paper that come into our lives that can be repurposed for notes:

Envelopes from your snail mail
Partially used exercise books left over from the kids’ school work can be cut into smaller pieces
The extra pages that come with the bills but have little useful information on them have a clean reverse side
Old receipts are nice and long and make good shopping list paper
Desk calendars are already lined for note making and all the past dates are free to be used
Backs of Christmas and birthday cards or even the reverse of the front of the card
Back of paper that has been printed on one side – can be cut into smaller pieces or even make your own little pad

Any paper that comes your way could potentially be used for writing notes on. When you are about to put a piece of paper into the recycling bin, think first whether you could use it for scrap paper and extend its life.
