Most offices and universities have lots of old one-sided documents that no-one wants. And even if you’ve set your printer to print double-sided, any document with an odd number of pages will leave one with a blank back.

Collect one-sided printed pages in a convenient place for use as scrap paper. Write notes or draw sketches on the back. Use them to print drafts (remember to temporarily print one-sided). The more use you get out of a piece of paper before recycling it the better.
