What kind of damage greeting cards cause to the woods

China is a country with very scarce forest resources, and the per capita forest area is only equivalent to one-fifth of the world's per capita area. But according to the data, it takes a large tree of wood to make 4,000 small greeting cards.

10 million greeting cards, 3,000 10-year-old trees + more than 10,000 kilowatt-hours of electricity + more than 30,000 tons of wastewater, this equation tells us how luxurious it is to use greeting cards. In a society with underdeveloped communications, "family letters are worth 10,000 dollars", and a greeting card can help us connect with family, friendship and love. But now, **, mobile phones, and e-mail can help us deliver greetings all over the world more quickly, why should we be willing to go near and far, and be slow at the expense of fast?

Taking a step back, as a country with a large population, how much environmental "capital" do we have for our consumption? At present, China's forest coverage rate is 16 55, far lower than the world average of 27, ranking 104th in the world, and the per capita forest area is about hectares, which is only the world average. Therefore, we have to admit that we are in a state of "poverty" in terms of forest resources.

However, in recent years, due to the encroachment of forest resources such as greeting cards and books on the evolution of pulp mills by publishing houses, China has logged more than 34 million cubic meters of forest resources every year.

Paper greeting cards directly destroyed the forest.

Hello. Data show that about 10,000 years ago, the Earth had 6.2 billion hectares of forests covering nearly 12 hectares of land, and now only more than 2 billion hectares remain.

The world's tropical rainforests are decreasing at a rate of 17 million hectares per year, which is equivalent to losing a piece of tropical forest the size of a football field every minute. If this development continues, it will not be long before the world's tropical forest resources may be destroyed and destroyed.

2.With 3.2 billion tonnes of paper produced and used in the world every year, nearly 1.3 billion such trees would disappear from the earth in one year if four trees with an average age of 20 years were cut down for each tonne of paper.

Although the amount of greeting cards is not large, but every year on Christmas and other festivals, there are still a large number of greeting cards into the market to be used, these greeting cards are made of hard paper, which is much more demanding than ordinary paper, and the damage to trees is also great.

If we use e-cards or greeting cards made from recycled paper, the impact on the environment will be much smaller.

Hope mine is helpful to you.

The production of 2,000 greeting cards consumes a 3-meter-tall tree, and sending fewer greeting cards can protect the forest In addition, it can also reduce pollution and improve our living environment; Saving resources;

Therefore, the answer is: reduce the pollution of rock Kailu, improve our living environment, and save resources (the answer is not the only one).
