[Volunteer] Chopping the world barren!

Over 83,300,000 tons of PAPER is wasted every year. Much of it can be prevented through simple acts of conservation & recycling.

SAVE PAPER.  SAVE TREES.  SAVE EARTH - OUR ONLY HOME....!!

•  
• Print and PhotoCopy only and only if absolutely necessary.
• Always Insist on using both sides of paper for photocopying and printing,
• Use notebooks thriftily. Utilize all the space available, including margins..
• Reuse paper (including printer waste) as many times as possible.
• Do not throw any paper into the Garbage Bin. Preserve it and sell it to your local scrap dealers/recyclers (Kabaadi Waala)

Resources Saved Per Ton (1000 Kg) of Paper

• 17 trees
• 2,32,500 liters of water
• 1500 liters of oil
• 27 kilograms of air pollutants

Not enough savings? Please consider this…
The 17 trees saved (above) can absorb a total of 110 kilograms of carbon dioxide from the air each year. Burning that same ton of paper would create 600 kilograms of carbon dioxide.

We humans are rightly called "creatures of habit". Conserving paper is one habit we must internalize with unprecedented commitment.

"Only after the last Tree has fallen,
Only after the last River has been poisoned,
Only after the last Fish has been cut,
Only then will we realize that Money cannot be eaten."

SAVE PAPER.  SAVE TREES.  SAVE EARTH - OUR ONLY HOME....!!
