1000 Flowers for the Planet - #128 Use Smaller Margins

In my opinion the pre-set margins for documents is too large and I always make them smaller. Often I’ve received a document in the mail that has gone over to the third page, so despite the practice of printing on both sides of the paper, some people allow that second piece of paper to be gobbled up by the printing of the last few lines. What a waste! If you have a document that exceeds a single or even double sided sheet, change the margins to be narrower, on all sides, and see what a difference it makes to the length of the document. It may not use less ink, but it will use less paper, and that equals savings to your hip pocket and to the world’s resources.
