Recycle PAPER and save some TREES

Paper is too valuable to waste

Around the world we use 1 million tonnes of paper every day. Too much of this paper usage is wasteful and unnecessary and puts huge pressures on the environment.

Paper usage in many parts of the word is on the rise. Expanding production and pulp wood harvesting threatens some of the last remaining natural forests and the people and wildlife that depend on them. The world´s paper hunger also significantly contributes to climate change.

Easy actions can make a big difference for the environment. Use Go green-Live Green tips on paper efficiency to help save the earth, reduce your carbon footprint and save money at the same time.

Think before you print

Pushing the print button is too easy...and wasteful. So the next time you are about to press that button, ask yourself the golden rule of saving paper: Do I really need to print this?

Use both sides of the sheet of paper

This is a real easy way of reducing your paper consumption by 50%. Set your printer or copier’s defaults to double sided. Select one-sided printing only when really needed.

Avoid printing out single line e-mails or unnecessary copies of documents

Again just follow the golden rule and ask yourself whether you really need to the print.

Use technology

Electronic mail, Internet, Intranets and document scanners can radically reduce paper use, while also saving you time and money.

Recycle the paper you have and ask for recycled paper products

Collect the paper you use and then reuse where possible (print again on the other side if you printed on one side only or use it for note paper). And when you do have to buy new paper make sure it is recycled. 

Save paper in your workplace

Reductions of 20% or more are possible in most offices. So ask your office manager what they are doing to reduce paper. Remind them that saving paper isn’t just about protecting the environment; it can also save them a lot of money!

Start a Paper Recycling Plant-Business 

Recycling paper is a profitable venture as waste paper is a readily available raw material. Recycling reduces the wastage of water in paper production and reduces air and water pollution. The process of recycling paper involves soaking waste paper and pulp to separate the fibers. The pulp is then screened to remove detrimental materials like pins. The pulp is then de-inked and thickened before it is washed. If white paper is required, the pulp is bleached before being rolled into sheets. You can recycle paper mechanically or by using automated

Going green@Start from YOUR HOME

Going green has caught the world by a storm. And since the kitchen can be a place where a large part of the household energy and resource are used up, here are some handy tips on how to go green in your kitchen.

Plant your own garden: If you have the space, plant a kitchn garden in your backyard. You get fresh organic vegies and also a workout while gardening.

Hyundai’s Kitchen Nano Garden:

Want to grow your own vegetable garden even if you don’t live in a mansion? Hyundai’s Kitchen Nano Garden is the solution for space-conscious home owners. The nano garden is a vegetable garden for the apartment kitchen,


using hydroponics rather than pesticides or fertilizers to let you grow your organic food right in your kitchen. Instead of the sunlight, the Nano Garden has lighting which promotes the growth of plants. The amount of light, water and nutrient supply is also controllable, so users can decide the growth speed.

It also lets users know when to provide water or nutrients to the plants, and functions as a natural air purifier, eliminating unpleasant smells. The nano garden is a bronze winner at the Fast Company 2010 Idea awards in the category of commercial and industrial product.

Reuse the water: When you wash your lentils, rice and vegetables, save the water and put it in your potted plants.


This way they also get some extra nourishment.

Soak ‘em up: Soak your lentils and rice for a couple of hours before cooking. It uses less time and fuel to prepare. And don’t forget to cover it while it cooks, best is to use a pressure cooker.

Ditch the paper: Get cloth wipes and towels which can be washed and reused rather than

using paper wipes.

Off the microwave: When not in use, switch off power to your appliances like the microwave, oven, food processor etc.



This cuts down on ‘vampire power’ and can reduce your electricity bills by 5%.

Use appliances judiciously:
Avoid using the electric chopper if you can use the knife. Don’t just shove food straight from the fridge into the oven, let it thaw for a while before you put it in to cook. And DON’T preheat the oven more than required. Making as best use of the oven as possible — cooking more than one thing at once, for instance — is wise.

Star gaze: Look for the Energy Star rating when buying new appliances or replacing your old ones.

Use CFLs: Use compact fluorescent light bulbs (CFLs). They last about 15 times longer than regular bulbs, fit into standard fixtures and use up to 75% less energy.

Use the dishwasher only when full and skip the heated dry cycle and let your dishes air-dry if you can.

Don’t place leftovers in the refrigerator while they are still hot. This will raise the appliance’s internal temperature, and use more energy. Instead, let food come to room temperature before refrigerating.

Find greener substitutes to chemical cleaners. Spray countertops with plain tap water then wipe with a microfiber towel

to eliminate 97% of germs and bacteria. To achieve an even deeper clean, wipe countertops with rubbing alcohol, which kills 99.9 percent of germs.
