Almost all kinds of organizations use up thousands of sheets of every year for various printing purposes. Uses vary from advertisement to notification to invitations. But the question arises :  Is there really that big a need to use up so much paper for these purposes?

The answer is no. All of the purposes above can be fulfilled with the help of electronic media such as e-mail, blogs and even text messaging. These are ways in which the use of paper can be minimized especially when there is a need to cater to a large group of people. These methods are not only helping save paper, but are much more efficient as well.

We live in the 21^st century where almost everybody is accessible to these forms of communication. The same information that is printed on a sheet of paper can also be conveyed in an e-mail or a text message. With advances in technology, there is a lot more that you can convey in these forms.

Therefore, unless absolutely essential we should try our best to use other alternatives to usage of paper. Each sheet of paper saved can make a difference.
