Abusing paper means swallowing precious trees

On March 12th, the tree-planting festival was again carried out. Trees were planted and planted all over the country. However, Ma Chengzhi, deputy director of the National People's Congress and deputy director of the Yancheng People’s Congress Standing Committee, told the reporter on the 11th, “China’s per capita paper consumption is about 10 kilograms per year! With the popularization of printers and photocopiers, office and corporate office paper There is an amazing waste. It has become a huge waste of paper for the whole society. It does not know how many saplings to devour each year!"

Ma Chengzhi said that the "three-plus" phenomenon of the organs, that is, the number of meetings, documents, and reports, has not been effectively controlled. A large part of the office's office expenses is spent on the printing of materials. The amount of paper is surprising. Although the degree of office automation is now very high, and paper can be completely reduced, but all kinds of experience exchange materials, newsletters, or a print is a big deal, many people throw it away. Many books are also repetitively printed, and they have to be sold at a discount. Many newspapers and magazines are directly sold into the waste collection stations without being sold to the readers. Commodity packaging is also an excessive use of paper, a few small pieces of moon cakes, actually three layers of three-story carton.

Don't know if you don't know it! Ma Chengzhi told reporters that according to calculations, at present, China consumes 7 trees and 100 cubic meters of water for each ton of paper produced; if a person wastes a piece of paper every day, the whole country will waste 2,700 tons of paper and 270,000 tons of water. . Therefore, saving paper can be regarded as a great thing that not only saves energy and reduces emissions, but also benefits both the self and the society. It is worthy of being advocated by the whole society.

"There are many provinces and cities that have tried to recycle textbooks. This is great. It is recommended that the relevant state departments should issue policies to implement the use of recycled textbooks by primary and secondary school students throughout the country." Ma Chengzhi said with emotion, "But as a large paper company and Enterprises and industries should tighten the string of paper. Abusing paper is a matter of cutting down trees."

Ma Chengzhi represented the followings in order to save paper: “Establish relevant laws and regulations to increase the cost of paper consumption in the entire society. In government agencies in the country, we strongly promoted the use of paper, accelerated the construction of electronic information platforms, and promoted paperless office operations; Meetings and documents control the distribution of internal publications, briefings, and materials, making party and government agencies a model for the use of paper by society."

The reporter saw in Ma Chengzhi's room that some of the text on his desk was printed on both sides. He explained that, on the one hand, it is necessary to economize, on the one hand, it must be recycled. “In the garbage composition in China, waste paper products account for approximately 17.99% of all wastes!”
