Dear Friends,
Protecting and restoring the true value of Environment is indeed a very big task in front of us. In fact just recall from a very young age we were all taught to not be wasteful; to not waste paper, water, and food. We heard this from our parents, our teachers, and even our friends. Little did we know that we grew up learning one of the most valuable lessons before it was cool to “be green”. This lesson is even more crucial to live by today.
Trees are the most important natural resource we have, supplying us with oxygen while eliminating CO2 levels from the atmosphere.
We are all guilty of tossing paper out before both sides are used, rewriting a letter/note more than once, and/or printing an article before we knew we needed it for long term use and is causing one billion trees to be cut down each year to satisfy the world’s paper demand. Global Warming Initiatives is only expecting this number to grow in future years causing more harm to the environment.
SOME OF THE BENEFITS OF TREES ARE AS FOLLOWS: |
1.) Trees remove 100 to 120 billion tons of carbon each year from man-made sources like (cars, trains, planes, etc)
2.) Trees moderate climate, improve air quality, conserve water and also harbor wildlife
3.) Trees cut down energy costs- air conditioning and heating costs are lower in shaded areas. The less energy used by consumers the less CO2 emissions in the atmosphere
This is what you can do to stop wastage: |
1) Use both sides of paper: don’t buy new notebooks for classes or work until the first ones are used up!
2) Read articles by way of Green PDFs: don’t print articles you don’t need, save them and refer back when you need to.
3) Encourage: your company, friends, and family to make important documents into Green PDFs
4) Save paper at every chance: reuse newspaper, magazines, wrapping paper, etc.
5) Use the internet to your advantage: send invites, E-cards, and Emails.
6.) Use the message below along with your mail:
"PRINT THIS MAIL ONLY IF ABSOLUTELY NECESSARY. SAVE PAPER. SAVE TREES."
Because we have the platform of CAclubindia, so it is our duty to spread awareness…this is exactly what am trying to do…
Please share your views….It’s important friends…
Thanks
