Anyone who has been to a paper mill knows that energy usage is by far the biggest impact paper has on the environment. Pulp starts as 95% water and finished paper is 5% water. That 90% has to be dried out.
Paper is dried to 1.5% then size is added then dried again to between 4.5_7%.
That's a great tip. I usually unplug everything unless it has to be in use, such as the fridge. Cellphones is one item people always forget to unplug. Leaving cell phone chargers plugged into outlets draws energy from that outlet, even when the charger is not in use.
If you do drink water, fill it from the tap and save more money.
Would also be better for the environment if there wasn't all these factories bottling water.
I totally agree, Kev. I actually have a water filter at home so our tap water taste better and our reverse osmosis systems is also very effective in removing bacteria but tap water is definitely the way to go. I am with you about closing water factories too so it seems we are aligned with our thoughtsIf you do drink water, fill it from the tap and save more money.
Unfortunately in some places in the world (let's just say America) this is not allowed in many states and many communities haha! So fecking stupid I can hang my clothes out.
It really is absurd that communities have such backward regulations. It is like another gift to the electric companies at the expense of the planet.
I like your attitude mate and I think humanity needs to look at itself. The Native American Indians had the right idea until white man came along and stole his land.
Agreed.
It totally is because of aesthetics but that's another sign that US culture needs to reconsider what's really important in life, for things to look pretty or for our children to have a healthy planet to live in.
