This may be something for teachers to look into. Instead of students receiving handouts/assignments on paper, students can receive them online via computer and also send them once finished back online.
This could reduce the consumption of paper resources. I understand that data on computer takes up hard disc space but hard disc space can contain much more data than paper. Additionally once data is used on hard disc it can be deleted clean, unlike paper which needs to be recycled and cannot be used again the same way.
Some university professors do require/accept assignments returned online.
If this practice was more common it would significantly help the environment and conserve resources.
