Our growing demand for paper is threatening the planet’s last remaining natural forests and endangered wildlife.
Give up now.
P A P E R
Paper is an intrinsic part of our lives – be it school books or gift wrapping or even our daily newspapers. But the growing demand for paper is adding pressure on the Earth’s natural resources like never before. In the last 50 years, global paper consumption has grown four times. In India, our paper consumption is projected to rise by over 53% by 2020, and the present recovery of waste paper is only 27% of the total paper and
paperboard consumed!
WE NEED TO CHANGE THIS. BY GIVING UP.
CHOOSE YOUR WAYS TO GIVE UP
UNNECESSARY PRINTING
Pushing the print button for anything and everything is easy – but wasteful. Think before you print. If you must, print on both sides!
PAPER BILLS & STATEMENTS
Digital platforms have made paper bills redundant. Choose e-bills whenever possible to save paper and for more convenience.
PAPER CUPS &
NAPKINS
Chances are you will use a paper cup only once, after which it will end up in the trash! Carry your own cup and use cloth napkins.
UNSUSTAINABLY SOURCED PAPER
Use Forest Stewardship Council certified paper sourced in environment-friendly and socially responsible ways. Find an FSC paper vendor.
