Save Trees – Use Paper: The Facts

Tuesday, July 20th, 2010

Thrown or a torn piece of paper lately? Printed or photocopied one too many copies? While some say sarcastic and smug colleague: “You kill the rainforest! Did she could be right, and you have to stop to buy with so much paper and perhaps an album of Sting. Well, no. Two of them have no meaning. Of course there is an element of truth in the remark above, in the same way as when you stop breathing in, then there is (something) will be more air for all. The basis of this maxim more offers are really used, the trees to paper, what is right for a given value of two trees “and make cut” right “. Paper, reached in its many forms, that you have to blow your nose, if you have a cold, vast and varied range your daily wallpaper from your local B & Q, could have the box that your new 42 inch HD Plasma TV ready in the box that the microwave oven loan keeps your dinner you have come to share, because you spent so the instructions supplied with the new TV, you don ‘have no time to cook more. The paper is think everywhere around us, and in everyday use, sometimes without realizing it (What do you think of the effect of wood grain desktop or laminate floor? It is printed on paper which are then in a wood substitute in connection with the real thing similar) or simply taken for granted. Virtually all paper is made from cellulose fibers of natural origin (linear polysaccharide beta (1-4) linked D-glucose units, characterized by the chemical symbol C6H10O5-n of the scientific mind) and most of the source of this material in the world is natural wood, ie trees. Oh, some players had to steam-up at the pictures in their heads, the destruction of the rainforest, but please stay with me. The second largest source of theses fibers of cellulose is made from recycled waste paper and cardboard, which nothing can be admitted in the papers yesterday, not more (for packing fish and chips) and the cardboard box that your plasma TV 42inch entered There are also sources commercial waste recycled paper and cardboard, eg waste from printers, newspapers and magazines excess emission over there is the endless flood of junk mails every day that falls through your letterbox, set aside for recycling and your empty wine bottles, cans Baked Beans and boxes bearing (aluminum). There are many other natural sources of cellulose fibers in the world, but their use depends on the location, the end product, and a guarantee of availability. So, for the purposes of this section back to the source of education, wood, or better yet, the trees. The trees grow on almost all continents (except Antarctica) and are many different ways. Of course, in the West, if you say one of those word association tests and the psychiatrist, “tree” you think of a mighty oak, chestnut or, or willow branches swaying in the drift slowly, the crystal clear waters of a brook country. Maybe even a pine, larch, Scots pine powerful. However, if your inquisitor was to say “tree for paper-making” in our club metaphorical word test, your mind conjure up images of bulldozers ripping huge trees in the rainforest at its giant saw chain and terrible place deburring and fall, drown the cries of the displaced Orang-utans and gibbons, in fact, rape Sumatra (ten years ago it was the Amazon, but the focus is shifted if the problem remains in South America and possibly worse) In relation to the manufacture of paper and paperboard are concerned, the vast majority of uprooted trees in the rainforest are of little use or for the manufacture of paper. They are hard, even harder than birch, beech, and eucalyptus, the thinking (with a few others) that this paper makers hardwoods. Tropical woods such as mahogany, walnut, Teak, IPE, etc are too hard and can guarantee to 120 years in the visions that you have in mind, and in order that have older people are growing relatively slowly and cellulose fibers are short and very dense, the hardwood does. This is ideal for furniture, paneling, wood floors and many other applications where very often a non-tropical hardwoods could just as well, but hey, these trees in tropical forests are just waiting to be torn, chopped or ground down, anyway. The trees in paper production from temperate regions of the earth used, but there are groves of pine and eucalyptus trees in South America, where once the rain forest, but it was for wood or destroyed agricultural land for the animals (yes, where do you think your Fray Bentos Corned Beef from? has come Fray Bentos a place, not just another brand), or cash crops, all of which failed after a year or two, because the ground is really bad (think about the roots of tropical trees so near the surface and spread over a wide area), the rain came and washed away what was little ground, and in the size of Wales (a little larger than, the whales) each year you turn into desert. Then some Sylviculturalists (Scientific Tree) came and said, “Why do not we plant trees, we planted crop in just a decade or more to use, and culture again, and so on?” In this way, the soil is enriched, we obtain trees for timber and paper production, and achieved a degree of habitat restoration. In addition, all trees as breeding cycle with a relatively short crop, we will also plant many trees X of tropical hardwoods, and even “islands” of trees and “tree of the road” between them, so that wildlife could move. And this is the part most fun, these lovers of trees is not the WWF, Friends of the Earth, Greenpeace, and (they were too busy all wringing their hands and wept bitter tears, instead of forward recovery plans), these scientists have been radical pulp and paper company! It has worked well. Apart from the illegal logging that continues to this bit in South America as the land is by questionable, or whether the native Indians fired logger initially excluded, except this, the tree, tested, approved and labeled by humans, such as FSC, PEFC or SFI , a business environment and financially rewarding in South America. In the Far East (Indonesia, Malaysia, Borneo and al) the destruction of the rainforest and all habitats unbearable and the environmental problems it brings, has nothing to do with the pulp and paper, knows that, although “There is a question mark behind the word “nothing. “Asia has a growing population, a growing economy and a huge demand for paper products. Although most pulp and paper industry, companies in this part of the world is not the board of the slaughter of tropical forests, the wood they buy so-called intermediate, and therefore as they can perform “on their hands” SAP, if it is not considered blood. We in the West but also the fault, because after paper and paperboard and cardboard, which starts in these places (buying continues especially Indonesia), thinks back to the cattle ranches, which replaces the Amazon rainforest, search something called palm oil in the ingredients / contents of the products you buy every week at the supermarket. Much of the cleared areas of tropical forests (hardwood) forest with a relatively rapid growth of palm trees in the interest of the oil which is extracted from the fruit replanted. So the next time someone says you’re dead trees, if you throw a piece of crumpled paper in the drawer, stop, you can worry and ensure that you only buy the paper and paper products (and even wood and derived products), that carry the FSC, PEFC or SFI logos. Oh, and leave the album alone Sting.

Recycled Paper Products ? Facts About Recycling in the US

Saturday, July 3rd, 2010

Millions of Americans recycle paper at home, at work and school. This number continues to grow as people become more aware of the importance of recycling and conservation measures. Recycling paper products conserves natural resources, reduces the need for landfill or incineration, saves energy and prevents pollution. According to the Council of paper consumed Industry Association, 56% of paper is recovered for recycling. Included in this number, 48% of office paper was recovered for recycling, and 73% of newspaper is recovered. This translates into almost 360 pounds for every person in the country. Recycled paper products including cardboard, paper and paper towels, printing and writing paper, envelopes, hydro-mulch, molded packaging, compost, kitty litter, and 1 5 million tons of construction products. It is not just trees stored with pulp from virgin wood products. The EPA says that recycling one tonne of paper saves 1000 gallons of water, 3 cubic meters of landfill space, 2 barrels of oil and 4,100 kilowatt hours of electricity, more than 17 adult trees. Recycling paper air pollution generated consume 74% less water and 54% less compared to the production of new paper. Overall, it uses only 60% of the energy it would take to make paper from pulp from virgin wood fibers. Numbers of recycling can increase the gap by encouraging the collection of the house. The EPA has an initiative called Recycle on the Go by the Resource Conservation Challenge established. His goal of recycling in public places is encouraged. Your goal is to increase the amount of waste collected for recycling paper, and promote a culture of recycling by readily available and inexpensive. You have to decide a company is socially responsible company dedicated to a greener future. In addition to a comprehensive list of environmentally friendly office products, the company should the sale only recycled and tree free papers to be dedicated. To check boxes, reuse them each shipping and carpets with recycled paper, styrofoam.

Sustainable Development: a History of Two Words and Few Facts

Wednesday, June 16th, 2010

In Spanish at http://www. . Inpsicon com / news. php? to extend. 206www. . Inpsicon com In 1987, the United Nations Environment Programme, who has worked by former Norwegian Prime Minister Gro Harlem Brundtland headed, examines the situation of today’s world and proven by scientific evidence that global society was to destroy the impact on the environment and a broad population in the world by submitting them to poverty. This analysis was published in a book entitled “Our Common Future”, on the conclusions of the Brundtland Report. This report introduces the concept of sustainability (or sustainable development) has been used for the first time, defined as meeting the needs met of the present without future generations. The purpose of the Brundtland report was a practical tool to find the development and environmental issues back. To achieve this objective, the Commission for three years for public hearings and received over 500 written comments subsequently examined by scientists and policy makers from 21 countries and different ideologies. As the title says. the work of so many people with different histories and cultures, the strengthening of dialogue is necessary, why the result of this synergy is more than any of them individually obtained. However, the concept that the concept of sustainable development is surrounded by the year 1987 Gestated session. In fact, in June 1972 was the declaration by the United Nations Conference in Stockholm, where the environment of man and the two basic aspects that compose it: the artificial and have native, we actively discussed. Is it appropriate, the results show that the high point of concern for the index of the contamination and inequality in the conditions necessary for development. It is clear that, even if the concept of sustainable development was established in 1987, some events in the world has the need to define development and design, including an interdependent and fair view check revealed. The subject was discussed in the increase and several scenes. After ten years of the United Nations Conference 1972 in May 1982 in Nairobi (Africa), took place a further conference, with its central axis was the environment. Once again, the themes and content into a new mandate were addressed included: sustainable development. The impact of the Brundtland report, can be achieved, including the new legislature will be confirmed in the following Conference of the United Nations called the Earth Summit in Rio de Janeiro, 1992. What was at previous conferences on the general theme on the ideas and concerns at the Earth Summit goals and guidelines were developed to protect our planet. So, has represented for the first time in history, 180 countries at the Earth Summit, the name of climate change recorded contract, to take measures to mitigate the effects it produces, due to increased emissions of greenhouse gases. Currently there are 181 governments that are Parties to the Treaty, which meets annually to review progress and continue the search for solutions to problems. Sometime later, in 1997, all countries with climate change compromise is met in Kyoto, Japan, and laid the foundations for the commitment, to reduce emissions by 7% in the next decade, reaching a commitment from the countries met in Rio five years earlier. In 1998, the industrialized countries reduce their emissions by up to 10% increase, for example, the U.S. has exceeded more than 20%. In the same year, the Kyoto meeting, was the second World Summit held at United Nations Headquarters in New York. But if you set the balance at the first Summit of Rio de Janeiro and reaches the same, the result is discouraging. Although the arrangements were confirmed, set the objectives for the damage that was to stop the planet is not reached. In fact, the globalization of the economy, the progress of the Rio Agenda destroyed has reached up a business in the world and exposed to natural resources, the voracity of the market. These are typical signs of warning: • In many places in North America have registered their summer days or the end of the decade of 1990. has included • Since 1980, the Earth’s 19 hottest years were 1998, the warmest, with 2002 and 2003 as the second and third respectively. • In 2003, extreme heat waves caused more than 20 000 deaths in Europe and on first 500 dead in India. • Wear the mosquitoes, the diseases themselves are advocating that climate change will allow them in areas that were previously inhospitable, they were to survive. Mosquitoes that can carry dengue virus in up to a height limit. 000 meters, but they have recently Surfaced 2. 200 meters in the Andes of Colombia. Malaria, in higher regions of Indonesia, was also demonstrated. • According to NASA, the polar ice cap is melting at an alarming rate of 9% per decade. In the decade of 1960, the thickness of Arctic sea ice has decreased by 40%. • The current rate of sea level rise is three times higher than the historical rate and appears to accelerate. • A recent study published in the prestigious Nature publication discovered that at least 279 species of plants and animals already a response to global warming. The geographical distribution of species has poleward at an average of 6.5 kilometers (4 miles) per decade, and their drives are moved from an average of 2 days before each decade. • In the past 25 years, some penguin populations by 33% in some parts of Antarctica was by reducing the sea ice habitat in winter. The hidden significance of the disagreement focuses on the form of addressing the problem. In other words, all participating countries agree with the existence of the current problem of development models, but no one comes in the forms of implementation of solutions. This is because these solutions require adaptation of economic growth, well-being of the planet as an ecosystem, that modern Western society has never seen. Since the outbreak of the concept of sustainable development in the year 1987, its importance focused on ecological sustainability, which can lead to a domino effect of global summits and meetings, the need to reaffirm faced the same problem: the satisfaction of human needs is not over time in a sustainable, how future generations will not be considered with the same resources we have are made now. With meetings held since then, we can select the Nobel Prize in 1998 in 63 countries drafted a Manifesto of the affirmation of the global climate crisis in 1997, before the signing of the Kyoto Protocol in Japan. In the same year the Treaty of Rome by focusing on the proper use of fertile land was celebrated. Sometime later, in 1998, Lisbon Expo focuses on the protection of the oceans. In 2000, the climate summit in The Hague, Netherlands, finishing once again that the goals were not achieved held. In 2002 in Johannesburg, South Africa, another Earth Summit came with similar results. (Http: / / www. Gencat. Net/mediamb/revista/rev33 votes. Htm) Although it seems incredible, the fundamental focus of all discussions on an agreement was drawn out, like, have to be measured such as pollutant emissions to determine whether the targets for the reduction has become reality. Granted, not always those that have the greatest force in this debate, most countries contamination of the planet. An example appeared that recently a documentary, titled “An Inconvenient Truth, sponsored by Al Gore, who has played an important role in the political positioning of this problem in the United States. The documentary retreat of glaciers shows many photographs, which shows several years, and a study by researchers at the University of Berna Physic Institute and the EPIC data, the ice core from Antarctica, with concentrations of carbon dioxide in our days more than during the last 650,000 years. Similarly, this documentary shows a study by Dr. Naomi Oreskes (2004), a review of 928 scientific articles on climate change published 1993-2003 is carried out. The survey, published in the journal Science, showed that each element is global warming blamed on human action or make any comment on that at all. The scientific basis of this document, to our planet are large in a critical and unprecedented and show, now more than ever, the awakening of environmental awareness is necessary, based on a perspective of sustainable development, achieving a balanced coexistence with the ecosystem that our lives as types supported. Improving the environment is a commitment of companies and citizens. At the beginning of this phase, great sacrifice, or innovative methods and heavy, are not necessary, the solution is simpler than we thought, it is in your hands. From home, start with these 10 things that do recommended by An Inconvenient Truth. (Http: / / www. Climatecrisis. Org/pdf/10things. Pdf): 1 – Changing the bulb Replacing one regular light bulb with a compact fluorescent bulb saves 150 pounds of carbon dioxide per year. 2nd – Drive less Walk, bike, car pool or use public transport more often. You’ll be a pound of carbon dioxide for every mile you drive to not save! 3rd – Recycle more You can record second 400 pounds of carbon dioxide per year by recycling just half your household waste. 4th – Check the tires Properly inflated tires can improve gas mileage by more than 3%. Each gallon of gasoline saved keeps 20 pounds of carbon dioxide from the atmosphere! 5th – Use less hot water It takes a lot of energy to heat water. Use less hot water by the installation of a low flow showerhead (350 kilograms of CO2 per year) and washing your clothes in cold or lukewarm water (500 pounds saved per year) 6th – Avoid products with lots of packaging material You can a. 200 pounds of carbon dioxide, if you reduce your garbage by 10%. 7th – Set your thermostat Move your thermostat 2 degrees in winter and up 2 degrees in summer. You could save about 2. 000 pounds of carbon dioxide a year with this simple adjustment. 8th – Plant a tree A single tree absorbs one tonne of carbon dioxide during its life. 9th – Turn off Electronics Simply switching off your TV, DVD player, stereo and computer when you are not saved with them thousands of pounds of carbon dioxide per year. 10th – Be part of the solution Spread the world!
