It is amazing that after so much hype that Go Green initiatives in their various forms and avatars have got,
the results of entire exercise has been near nil.
Though we know about the impact our action can create, we actually continue doing the same actions with same non chalant attitude !
It is simply a matter of "choice"! we have the power to control most of our choices and, therefore,the impact we create, from where we live to what we buy, eat, and use the light our homes to how we use ours natural resources.
It the time we put ours thinking caps to brainstorm for the ways to contribute toward saving our mother earth.Take for instance our easy going attitude toward paper. Paper plays important role in ours lives. The newspaper , cereal box, shopping bags, the tissue paper, toilet paper, books, magazines, labels; it almost omnipresent.
When paper is such intense part of ours lives and we know trees need to be cut down to make it, why not be more judicious while using it.
It takes about 24 trees to make a tons of paper and the paper industry ranks 4th in contributing the greenhouse gas emissions, and contribute about 9% of manufacturing sector's carbon emissions.
Paper usage is rising by around 20% every year,with the average office worker using approximately 50 sheets of paper every day in typical offices.
Yes, use of paper is unavoidable but we are sure make a difference towards environment based on how responsible we use it.Paper accounts for more than half of all municipal solid waste.Saving paper will decrease waste going for dump in the outskirts which in turn will reduces pollution, energy usage in production, transportation and recycling new paper product and also majority reduce the cutting of trees to make new paper.
Some following ways can bring much change and can save our mother earth:-
* Watch out for the excessive use of paper. Most of companies strives to make a paperless environment ,
but hardly succeed because the employees do not cooperate.We should avoid making hard copies
unless absolutely necessary, use both the sides of paper when printing, cut unused half paper for
someone else, reduce the font size while printing etc. But the ground rules should be -do not print unless
very important.
* Buy carefully. While buying paper or diaries, stick to recycled paper.Opt. for unbleached paper and
uncolored paper and buy the paper in bulk to reduces the packing.
* Proofread documents on the screen before printing.You don't want to reprint pages because of the error
that could have been avoided.
* Print the addresses directly on the envelopes and avoid using labels.
* Fill copier tray rightly to avoid the paper jams.
* Change the paper cups in the pantry with ceramics stuff that can be washed and put back on the self.
* Use the fastest and paperless way to mail documents.
* Send waste paper to the the recycle and recycled paper products.
At homes :-
* If we can, why not stop buying newspaper and start reading the e-paper instead.
* Getting ours names off mailing lists that sends the promotions we don't care about.
* Get washable clothes towels for the kitchen and cut down on paper towel usage.
* Teach the children not to tear the paper from the note book to makes toys.
Our commitment toward saving paper can help to minimize environmental liabilities, minimizes the efficient use of resources, reduce the waste pollution and increases profit and efficients operations of organization.
