Question

Is printing paper money good for the environment?

Answer 1

i dont believe it is....it uses up alot of energy, and because of inflation and counterfieting* it uses up alot of trees for paper, that wastes our oxygen and destroys our rainforests...

idk, its probably a matter of opinion...

Answer 2

it really isn't as bad as you th ink because our "paper money" isn't made of paper.  It is a cotton microfiber mix. We don't cut down thousands of trees for our money.  It is also why counterfit money can be detected just by feeling it.

Answer 3

not really paper money only has a usage life of 2 years where by coins have a circulation life of 20 plus years.The problem is winy complaining people that don't want large denomination coins.In Germany when I was there they had 5,10,20 dollar coins I thought it was great,I know Canada wants to make a 5 dollar coin but all the dumbies say it will make their pocket change to heavy.My wife works retail and people will have a pocket full of change and still give her a 20 for a chocolate bar.Plus coins are harder to counterfeit near impossible

Answer 4

would you rather have a silicone chip in your wrist. The government would like this too

Answer 5

I do not know the import of your question but I know this :

Money is best spent if it is used to cut down/ reduce or remove pollution and to save the fragile and highly threatened  and only living planet - the Earth.
