Save papers - Not an advice

We hear lot of go green initiatives, which shouts save papers, save trees.

This idea is so viral starting from banks and cellphone operators stop sending printed bills to companies printing posters insisting to use less toilet papers. By sending e-bills, not sure they save papers. But sure they save lot or money.

Do you really think still papers are made from trees? What is the link between paper and tree?

Olden days, paper were manufactured from wood pulp. But It is not more a myth. Paper recycling started long back (remember selling your old news paper?). Chemical and mechanical process of preparing paper were introduced years ago. sugar cane pulp serve most of the raw material. But still why is this slogans everywhere? May be a satanic influence to keep people diverted from actual problem.(I just guessed it.)

Trees are cut more because of infra-structural development. Laying a high way, constructing a high-raised building etc. Trees are cut for not clearing the ground for the building being constructed, but for the furnishing woods.

More urbanization,  more vegetation we loose. But real estate is the hot business now. I cant blame that.

Then what are we doing in the name of go green? Some textile showroom donating saplings(they give plants not trees) wasting lot printed hand outs and banners. While some conduct national conference. All of them are just to attract attention.

Real go green initiative is nowhere.
