From term papers to office memos most of us would consider the 1-inch margin to be the standard. But do we really need all that white space crisply framing our words on paper? If we
reduced our margins to 0.5-inches not only would we personally (home office or students) or collectively (outside-world office) benefit with the extra green in our wallet but we would be saving some natural green ... trees! A noble cause if I do say so myself. The fact is if a 100-person office downsized their margins they would see a savings of $500 annually. Likewise, the average co-worker would save 475 sheets of paper each year! Combine that with re-using already printed upon paper and recycling and this could make quite the impact.
