It worked…
In about 2 hours, we came up with a simple idea and had time to implement it right away;
we already have recycle bins in our office to collect waste paper and send to the recycle centers. Alternatively, we designed a box to place right next to the copiers, the box is labeled:
“Place your one-sided non-confidential waste paper here (blank side up)”
In the same session, we collected some one-sided paper from the recycle bins, we sorted, cut them in half and using already existed binding machine, made a simple notebook.
This tiny project did not only illustrate how to turn ideas into successful end products rapidly but also enabled us to raise awareness about paper consumption and to provide people with free notebooks by reusing one-sided paper that is normally sent to the paper mills.
