Defend the Forest

Most people want their descendents to have a comfortable life. However, we have already consumed many of our natural resources in order to provide a comfortable life for ourselves without often thinking of the consequences for the future. Only very recently have we begun to understand the environmental destruction that we have caused and to fear the effect that this destruction will have on our descendants. American seems to be especially concerned about their environment. They recycle their newspapers and aluminum soda pop cans, and many now bike to work instead of driving because they think that these measures will solve environmental problem. On the contrary, despite these measures, Americans remain very wasteful. There are many things that Americans could do to help solve one of the major environmental problem-saving the forests. Rather than recycle, Americans need to change their attitudes toward using paper.

Americans might be surprised to learn that their attitude toward paper use is quite wasteful. For instance, many people take a lot of paper napkins at fast food restaurants or cafeterias, and they rarely use as many as they take. Additionally, they use too many paper towels in public bathrooms. They also waste paper when they write. It seems that they like to write memos for messages that are unimportant or could be communicated in other ways, often using big pieces of paper for short messages. Further, there a lot of “junk mail” delivered that is never read but only thrown away.

Some Americans feel that they are really trying to help save the forests by recycling the paper that they use. However, recycling is not the real answer to the problem. A report from the Forest Resources Project explains that “recycling vast amount of paper could do more harm than good to environment”. One obvious detriment of recycling is the increased air pollution it causes. Further, it is very expensive to recycle. Most people are unaware that it takes seventeen mature trees to make one ton of paper. However, when this amount recycle is only one tenth of the original paper is produced. Therefore, recycling is actually not very efficient for the amount of money spent on it.

Rather than recycling the forest, Americans could help to save the forests by conserving the amount of paper they use in the first place. First, they should only take as many paper napkins as they need, or they should use cloth napkins. In additional, they could bring handkerchiefs to the public bathrooms, as in the custom in other countries. This could save great amounts of paper. Further, they could tell their messages to people directly or send them by electronic mail instead of writing memos. Moreover, if they don’t read their junk mail, they can have their names remove from junk mail listings. These measures will save more trees from becoming paper. If we really think about defending the forests, we realize that changing our attitude about paper usage is the only way to really save the trees.
