  1. well it depends. if we are using recycled paper then the trees can be saved.

    Else we will be needing the paper for sum or the other use...

    so try to use recycled paper and save the trees...


  2. smoke trees not save them

  3. yes.... I already started

  4. in english please?

  5. Why not just grow another tree.  It is a RENEWABLE resource dispite what the enviro wackos say.

  6. umm, yea. the less paper you use, the less trees die

  7. yes, try to use lesser papers...

  8. The paper you hold in your hands when reading a book, magazine, or newspaper can have a multitude of effects on the environment, depending on how it was made and how it will be used. First of all, making paper uses a huge amount of water. This in itself can damage natural habitat and threaten fish populations by lowering the water levels and changing the water temperature near paper mills. In addition, greenhouse gases are released during papermaking due to the huge consumption of oil and electricity. The reduction in forestland that provides the resources for papermaking also accelerates global warming and destroys plant and animal habitat and biodiversity. And the bleaching process used to brighten paper releases chlorine, a toxin that poisons the environment.

    What can be done to minimize the environmental impact of papermaking? Three viable alternatives are to reduce consumption, recycle paper, and make paper from sustainable, renewable resources.

    Reducing Consumption

    One way to use less paper is to clean your mailing list to reduce the number of publications you will need to print. This means making sure that every address is complete and accurate so all copies of your brochure or catalog reach their intended recipients.

    Printing on both sides of the sheet is another way to reduce paper consumption, as is reducing the size of your publication’s margins.

    Using lighter paper and reducing the trim size of a publication are two more ways to conserve paper. Consider moving from a 70# sheet to a 60# sheet, or making a publication “self-cover” (using the same stock for the cover and the text). Not only will you conserve resources, but you will also save money on postage. Shaving even a quarter-inch from the trim size of a periodical can make a huge difference in both paper usage and postage.

    Recycling Paper

    Recycling paper makes sense both environmentally and economically. Paper is one of the most expensive components of a print job. Making virgin paper uses a huge amount of energy (from the burning of nonrenewable fossil fuels). Making paper from paper saves time, water, and fossil fuels, and minimizes the bleaching needed to whiten a printing sheet. As a result, fewer toxins are released into the environment.

    Using Environmentally Friendly Sustainable Materials

    Making environmentally friendly paper means using methods that are less toxic to the environment and components that do not deplete the finite supply of certain raw materials.

    One approach is to request paper brightened without chlorine, specifically elemental chlorine-free (ECF) and totally chlorine-free (TCF) paper. These types of papers are made by using oxygen and hydrogen peroxide to bleach the wood pulp. Specifying papers produced with mechanical (groundwood) pulp instead of bleached kraft pulp is another alternative.

    Keep in mind that paper does not have to be made from wood. The finest bond letterhead paper is made from cotton. Other fibers that can be made into paper include kenaf, hemp, denim, old paper money, and even banana peels. These substances yield more pulp than trees do from a given amount of land. Fewer chemicals are needed to guard against pests and disease and to turn them into pulp. In addition, they use less energy over a shorter period of time for the actual paper manufacturing. Some alternative fibers such as kenaf also grow faster than trees, allowing for quick replenishment.

    Remember, though, that since producing paper in this manner has not yet caught on widely, these papers are often still more expensive than virgin paper. As environmentally sensitive consumers increase demand, production will increase, causing costs to drop
