Save The Trees, Save Our Environment, Reuseable Chamois / Shammy Cloths
Environmental Responsibility
Wood is something we all use in our
daily lives. Wood is made into things like paper products, furniture,
buildings, pencils, photographic film, and even food additives that end up in
cheeses, cake mixes, and ice cream! Some of the wood we use for these products
comes from very old trees that live in ancient rainforests. These ancient, or
old growth, rainforests have been standing for hundreds and sometimes
thousands of years. They are home to millions of types of animals, plants,
insects— and even people! When old growth forests are logged to make products
for us to use, many animals lose their home, or habitat. Sometimes these
animal species become extinct. Many native or indigenous peoples lose the land
that their families have lived on for thousands of years. Some logging
companies say that they replant the trees they cut down. While planting trees
is always a good thing to do, we must remember that planting trees in an area
that has been clear-cut is not the same as planting a forest. A forest is much
more than just the trees it contains. While it is possible for a company to
replant trees, it is impossible for the company to replant an ancient forest
full of all the plants, animals, insects, and people that once lived there.
Since cutting down trees for wood is one of the main reasons old growth
forests around the world are being destroyed, we must find ways to use fewer
wood products in our daily lives. There are many easy things that we can do to
help. Because one quarter of all the trees that are cut down
are used to make paper, using less paper is a great way to help save our
ancient forests. Here are some ways that you can use less paper:
• Write on both sides of every
piece of paper, and try to use scratch paper or half-sheets whenever possible.
Recycle paper when you are finished with it.
• Use cloth napkins at home and
bring them when you travel or pack lunches instead of paper napkins.
• Take a canvas bag to the
grocery store instead of using paper bags.
• Use Synthetic
Chamois / Shammy Cloths at home instead of paper towels for cleaning jobs,
windows, etc.
* Use
real cups and plates instead of paper ones.
Also, when purchasing paper at the
store, try to buy paper that says “100% postconsumer recycled paper” on the
label. Better yet, buy 100% tree-free paper. Tree-free paper is made
from plants like kenaf, hemp, bamboo, cotton, flax, banana stalks, and even
bagasse, which comes from sugarcane. Tree-free paper can also be made from
farmers’ leftovers like cornstalks and wheat straw. Normally, farmers burn or
bury these leftovers. Instead, they can sell them to factories that will make
tree-free paper from this agricultural waste. Tree-free paper can be hard to
find and it may be more expensive than wood-based paper. However, as more
people buy tree-free paper, the price will eventually drop and it will become
easier to find.
Being environmentally responsible can also save you money. The average
family uses 1-3 rolls of paper towels per week. At an average cost of $1 per
roll, that can easily add up to over $150 a year!! So
stop throwing your cash in the trash and use Shammy cloths instead!
