There is a printer near me that uses the big rolls of newsprint. (I had the template of my pattern printed by them.) I asked them if I could buy a bit of the paper, and they GAVE me the end of a roll with many, many yards of paper on it. It's left over from a printing job, and it's less than they want to load on their printers because of the time for setup. They routinely give these rolls to teachers and crafters who want them. It keeps them from going to the landfills.
