This might seem a lot to you but that amount of wood could barely heat an apartment for an hour.
In terms of wasted resources this is pretty neglectable, especially considering that education is among the better things to waste resources on.
But for the record Im not saying we arent wasting huuuge amounts of paper, especially for advertisement, just trying to put it into perspective.
I have some bad news for you .. the rest of the world outside school uses even more paper.
Idk, I use basically no paper at home or at my full time job. I get ungodly amounts from my language class though
That's a very small amount. You should use more, and understand that Google is not your friend.
I'm kinda forced to. And if I'm forced to anyways, why do we still use so much paper? Either kill the rainforests or steal my data, not both.
65% of all paper products are recycled into other paper products.
It is on a path to net zero soon.
Google is not ....
Depends on what the path is lol. Paperindustry is nowhere close to net zero. It's one of the biggest emittents in my city.
9v for scale is a new one to me.
Must have already had it handy for the dick pics
Last night I made a comment about dick pics so I had to open the thread before I realized this notification wasn't about that.
If you recycle it it's not very bad. It's probably already made from a good amount of recycled content. Or if not, there's plenty of demand for it for boxes and packaging.
Yeah paper is mostly renewable these days.
Electronics though?
That e-waste is a lot worse for the environment than a few bits of paper.
I have recycled it already. Just a shame IMO that I had to use so much paper.
Writing on paper is better for learning than drooling on a touch screen.
That has been proven.
Before full paperless, a college semester for me was a quarter of a small closet stack of paper. By the time I graduated it was a couple of notebooks and a tiny binder not larger than yours. Paper is super recyclable, paper is not what is killing the rainforest, if that is your concern. A single Google data center kills more and wastes more resource than all the tiny paper stacks of each student combined.
The paper is printed and transported, a data center meant for storing data handles much more data than that of a collage. You make a fair point, but the paper vs paperless debate isn't that simple.
I recognize the complexities involved. But as long at data centers are fueled by a fossil based grid and use clean water for cooling, this amount of paper is not hurting more nor less. OP is fine, if they want to save trees the move is to stop corn and palm oil in products. That's what is destroying forests.
Paper doesn't compress well after it's been used. That might look like a lot, but the curling of the pages forces them apart and adds a ton of empty space. If it were fresh it'd probably be half that battery's height.
Love to see it. Savor it.
How many bananas tall would you say that 9v battery is?
6 raccoon peens
I mean, trees grow back sucking up carbon as they grow and you can recycle these things. Whereas ewaste is a much trickier, and probably way more toxic, issue. Not to mention no paper company mogul is going around building data centres and funding fascists around the world... that I know of anyway.
*Amount of paper you used once.
I have ADHD and autism and I never were able to finish school. Got diagnosed when I was 27.great you're doing well, good luck with graduation! A diploma is so important, sadly. You can do it!
Thanks! Grad's a bit away, but I'm making it work. Lots of bare-minimum and hands-on classes in next year's schedule, and lots of barely-passing grades. Sucks to hear you didn't graduate, but sounds like you made it work.
Weeeeelllllll.... I joined the navy, served for 15 years, left with PTSD, now enjoying my disability pension. I get more than enough money every month, have way too little to do though. Life is boring. My brain needs distraction and think work otherwise it's driving me crazy. But I'm getting better :)
But just to motivate you: no diploma and you will be working boring jobs where you won't take pleasure out of, surrounded by people you can't connect to, feeling stuck by the system. Or at least, that's my experience. Always undervalued, always tasked to do the shitty jobs, never taken serious.
So that stupid piece of paper actually means a lot. Go get it!
That's honestly less than I've gone through for some art projects (artist, not student). At least it's recyclable
