Ardent Champions Of Ecology (most of them buying a new smartphone every season, some of them making money outa Kindle and such) clamour for banning paper books, because publishing paper books kills trees. And so it does. But...
Somehow, they never yell out curses blaming millions of offices wasting paper by ton, printing their instructions and lists and agendas and whatever to circulate inside the bureau or desk room or whatever. Sending emails is not posh, must needs use paper! And if whatever is printed makes more than one page, two sheets of paper must be used, rather than both sides of a sheet. Even when there be but two lines on the second sheet...
Then there are flyers and advertising magazines and other useless things printed on glossy paper that cannot even be recycled!
I suppose I`d better not wail about IKEA deforesting the eastern coast of the Baltic. Just to avoid swearwords.
I just wish to mention a fact the Champions tend to overlook, most probably intentionally ignore.
Paper can be and occasionally is being made of hemp!
Happy New Year all!
