Use eco-friendly paper


If you don't know the fact that mostly papers are made from woods, please learn it atleast now. Predominatly papers are made from woods. Papers made from wood are produced after cutting down huge amount of trees. Nowadays synthetic papers also being used. It is also possible to make paper from many waste products in the world like vegetable waste, fruits waste, grass etc. Though these technologies are invented very long years ago, they are not in practice because of the popularity of wood made papers. These technologies are picking up well after proper education amoung our people. Indian Govertment is doing a good job through KVIC (Khadi and Village Industries commission) by promoting handmade and recycled paper manufactures in small scale.

I met a KVIC beneficiary yesterday. His name is Sundar. He is a young chap left his Charted Accountant courses and career after learnt about handmade paper industry and its benefits to society. He has approached KVIC, got loan and subsidary on capital amount and started his own venture. He is doing excellent service (business) by giving employment to many rural workers. They are bringing up many innovations as products. I am surprised to see photo-frames, purse, pen-stand and many desktop items made out of handmade boards. The quality is very rich.

I am happy to hear State Bank of India has sent a circular to all branches to use eco-friendly paper ten days ago. You too use eco-friendly paper and save trees.
