[Poll] Usage of paper
April 20, 2008 - 11:00 AM

As you know, there are thousands of factories that produce paper, yet everyday people wastes paper as if they don't care about deforestation.
Do you want to stop people from doing that?

Mostly trees are being cutted for paper, if paper is being use too quickly, soner the forest will be gone because of over useage of paper. Sometimes when I use paper, I try to use less and I will always try to waste less paper before the trees in the world are all gone.

WHat annoys me is the use of paper to create free newspapers for transport systems. I live in London where free newspapers are rife. 100 tonnes of free newspapers are distributed everyday and a minute amount is recycled. Not only is this a grave waste of paper and resources but the content is terrible and an awful introduction to newspapers for young people as well as a consistent drain on our taxes and fares to deal with the waste issues.

Maybe all of us could reuse paper, especially in cases of writing. Use paper from notebooks that weren't used the previous year. Write/make lists on the backs of any paper, like calendars, or envelopes, or printed paper that is clear on the other side. I think a good idea is to get books bound, like take unused sheets from notebooks, gather them and bind them together to form a new book. I did this when I was in school, and used those books to scribble etc. Also, reducing printing as far as possible.
