replace paper towels with a special set of cloth towels/napkins (or cut up old t-shirts for great towels) - store the used ones in a small container in your kitchen and just wash and reuse
purchase toilet paper that is made from recycled paper
if you print documents, print on once-used paper and/or bleach-free, recycled paper with the highest post-consumer waste content available (or an alternative-source paper)
reuse envelopes, wrapping paper, the front of gift cards (as postcards) and other paper materials you receive wherever possible
read books, magazines, and newspapers from your local library
create and use note pads from once-used paper
leave messages for family members/roommates on a reusable message board
make your own cards/letters from once-used products (gift wrap, tissue paper, received cards and notes)
reuse gift bags
