Environment issues
By dark_knight_begins •
Papers are made of trees, trees are so important for the atmosphere balance and the survival of animals and humans, the current computer possibilities help us all to write and save and organize our daily work without being in need to print even a single paper, pls, stop printing out unless it is extremly necessary.
com'n dark_knight_begins! reading this thread made me so much better (i had a bad day at the office earlier). tis like reading/hearing a good funny script! cheers to supernurse tee hee =)
I dont understand some funny, silly, and nasty comments, and why the hell some people keep mentioning the toilate paper, my idea is simple, there is unreasonable consumption for the paper, it could be a lot less than what it is now, in general, if one apple is enough u dont have to waste another one just for fun, if u can use the same thing twice dont use it only once, it is not a silly issue, people die every day because of the lack of resources.
Computers do not save paper, we are wasting more paper than before because of computers. How many times did you say, let's print and see how it looks? then you end up printing it 10 times.
In the era before computers, you "type" it only once, with correction ink always nearby.
Xerox, used to be the king of copy machine companies, was worried of that impression that we will go all digital, hence they were worried that their copy machines will go obselete soon, never happend.
How does a computer saves a tree?
You can substitute the toilet paper with a computer... remember to choose a smooth one.

I only mentioned the pig, you brought the chicken in. You must be having some personal experiance too.
lol scarlett......

....pig pig pig pig pig pig...yes we may speak of pigs...just can't bring any pig products in!!
Grant me the senility to forget the people I never liked,the good fortune to run into the ones I do,and the eyesight to tell the difference.
Why not! just don't talk about eating them.
personal experience, edifis, on the pig tongue versus chicken beak???
Like alexa...on that note..I'm off to sleep..
Grant me the senility to forget the people I never liked,the good fortune to run into the ones I do,and the eyesight to tell the difference.
lol,.. are we even allowed to talk about pigs here?
A pointed beak is scary for the bottom.
But a pigs tongue is more comfortable than a being hen-pecked.
pigs prefer to eat slop..which is a mixture of human foods...They, unlike chickens, will only eat poo when there is nothing else to eat. Chickens eat their own poo whenever they can find it, whether they have feed in their pans or not...and people say pigs are dirty..pish posh..they obviously don't know anything about chickens!!

That would be the living bidet!
eww, gross.....
So I have another Idea.
Why not all of us stop using toilet papers.
It would save so many trees.
Instead we can keep a pet piggy in our Toilet, which will gladly lick our tush clean. Ooohh.... so comfy!!!
You know pigs love to eat shit.
I feel for the lesser pooers...or would that be pooies? Oh pooo...I don't know..so am off to bed..

hiya nadt...thanks...am in one of my moods tonight..giggling behind the keyboard..

Scarlett..ROFL....you have a way with words...
SuperNurse, I agree with you that paper comes from the bottom drawer of the photocopier, another source is a printer.
eucalyptus for your toilet paper...soothing to the tushy, yet it clears the nasal passages...
I swear most the recycled stuff still has splinters in it...

These toilet paper in Qatar are made from spiney Cactus.
lol edifis....I can't find a tree as they are all used for paper......so I've been informed ;)
Lol Scareltt, actually the ones in Australia arent that bad, they started to make them well lets just say less uncomfortable ;-)
Alexa, i didnt come across any thank god..lol...
and scented soft moisturised trees are particularly sumptious on the ole behind!
Supernurse, don't worry, I will tell you how to make paper.
Mix 12 Kgs wheat flour with milk and some honey. Keep in big A4 size basket.
Before you go to bed hang the basket to the nearest tree.
The tree should be atleast 13 yards tall.
In the morning, go and collect 5 bunch of 80 GSM A4 size paper(premium quality).
is that recycled toilet paper that stuff that is rough enough to sand down wooden doors? Surely there is a way to make it softer or ...OUCH!!!

I've made a nice little villa out of paper, I'm finding the humidity is making the roof sag a little so I'm on the lookout for more.........
Supernurse , what do you do with so much paper. Do you draw elephants,monkeys,Sun,hills and the house.
Ohhhh, its me bbutt I thought thats where it came from!!!
Alexa, for toilet paper its best to buy recycled toilet paper..
"Recycled toilet paper
Toilet tissue made from recycled paper is made from both colored and white stock, with staples and pins removed. The paper goes into a huge vat called a pulper that combines it with hot water and detergents to turn it into a liquid slurry. The recycled pulp then goes through a series of screens and rinses to remove paper coatings and inks. The pulp is whitened somewhat and sanitized with oxygen-based products like peroxide. It then goes through steps 7 through 10 like virgin paper products, producing a cheaper, less-white paper."
Heres the link on the article that provides more info.

Although i have yet to see recycled toilet paper in Qatar...I wonder if anyone has come across them here?
SUPERNURSE, YOU ARE THE ONE TAKING THE PAPER FROM THE PHOTOCOPIER?????
CMON!!! IM FEEDING THE PHOTOCOPIER DRAW EACH MORNING BECAUSE YOU STEAL OUR PAPER????
lol!
Its true, I dont know how, but our photocopier draw is always empty...

hey MJ...Good on you. I always give my kids papers ive finished with to colour in on the back instead of wasting more trees and buying those colouring books.
We cant avoid using papers but with recycling, it makes a huge difference.
yes, but one has to pay for clothes but paper is free!! I don't think theres anything we can do for the planet now, the world is ending in 2012 anyway, so I'll carry on using trees for the photocopier and putting clothes in the printer....oh hell...I'm confused....
clothes are not never ending like paper! I don't buy it. I have seen so many more garment stores in Doha than stationers. So if paper is neverending so is clothes.
hey nadt, i do that in the office all the time....not so important things that needs to be printed, i use recycled paper.... :)
edifis...but unfortunately the clothes are not never ending like the photocopying paper maker.....
Then clothes come from the wardrobe.
Paper is paper! I don't know the exact origin of it because I am not a paper scientist by trade. The paper i've seen comes in abundance from the drawer at the bottom of the photocopier, its never ending so I would hazard a guess and say it comes from the photocopier!!
Supernurse, I would like to know how in your opinion paper is made?
i agree, computers have been great in reducing paper consumption, and if you must print, at least recycle the papers.
For people who need a lesson on how paper is made you can go to this site, it really isnt that hard to believe.

no, computers cant help with the toilate thing, looooool
Paper is made of trees?!!No! paper is flat and comes in different colours.....sorry, I don't buy it. I don't see any leaves or birds nests in any paper that I've used! Unless, ofcourse, I choose to draw them......
Well u r very right dear. We r the ones who have to take care of these small issues which later on becomes bigger issues. So save PAPER and save TREES.
