Title: HOMEWORK KILLS TREES
Post by: X-ray on February 10, 2010, 04:00:33 PM
Homework kills trees because paper is made from tree bark and if it kills trees it kills us to because we need oxygen which trees provide.

That's a good idea, tell your teacher.

And by the way, paper is not made from the bark, it's made from the tree.

Because "Dog is man's best friend!"  ;)

I do have a friend who has a dog that will pretty much shred any paper that's around him. Not good when you're in college and the professor insists on using paper and ink for everything.  :P

Y'know, I have noticed that a great deal of the paper (that I use, at least) is recycled. And that's pretty much shredded used paper smushed together that's had a bleach bath to get rid of any residual discoloring. :)

I'm not sure if I should be taking you seriously with this, X-Ray. :|

I disagree. Sit me in front of a computer and absolutely nothing productive gets done.

((Is this too old to bump? :/)
Title: Re: HOMEWORK KILLS TREES

We'll let the bump slide ...  this time.  ;)

Of course, absolutely everyone knows that by creating the file on a computer, or on the Internet, we "save a tree", right?  What about ...
- all the plastics (and their manufacturing process)?
- the metals (and their shaping process),
- the laminates and chemicals used
- electricity and fuels expended to run the machines to do the plastics and metals
- the silicons and their manufacturing processes
- the shipping and marketing of the finished product
- the many man-hours of labor
- the food those employees consume
- the wastes created by each and everyone of the above items
- the electricity you expend while creating the document (or documents)
- if a laptop, the chemicals and acids contained in the batteries for the laptop (and the resulting problems of disposal when no longer functional)
- .... this list goes on ...

And... that's what we're trying to do by "going green" with 'electronic' documents.
Title: Re: HOMEWORK KILLS TREES
Post by: SaladBadger on April 04, 2010, 12:27:34 PM
but hey, in a world with BOTH paper documents and 'lectronic documents it's worse than just having electronic documents :P
Title: Re: HOMEWORK KILLS TREES
Post by: Matthew on April 04, 2010, 01:53:26 PM
Well, the computers and such will exist anyway, regardless of whether I store my document on paper or on my laptop. So I dont really how it applies, practically.

And what about:
- The machines to make the paper
- The machines to make the machines to make the paper
- The machines to harvest the wood
- The man-hours to get the wood
- The chemicals used in making the wood
... Need I say more?

So ... What can we actually do that will actually help save resources (dare I say ... "save the planet")?

No, I think he was referring to a song by Queen. But wrong kind of bike. Try this one instead:

I don't want a pickle... I just want to ride my mo- ter sickle!

Yeah, well I don't got a mo-ter sickle.  But I got me a bicycle!

I was thinking of the Queen song, but only the bicycle part (I despise the rest of it).
