We, who are used to use paper every day, don’t always notice that a piece of paper can be a luxury to someone else.

Any European uses easily over 200 kilos of paper in a year. (This man says that the amount is even 300 kilos)

Finland is one of the most important European countries when it comes to producing paper.

Somehow we take the paper for granted, and don’t even realize the value of all this paper. Every day we get a lot of publicity printed on many papers and what do we do? Throw it away of course. Nowadays we already have the recycling system, so that the paper will be recycled, but many times, you through a piece of paper in the bin with other waste and don’t even think about it, do you?

There are people in some countries who haven’t ever read a newspaper, and who don’t have any toilet paper. In some other countries, there's a debate now about the future of newspapers, because the industry is going down.

In some parts of the world the forests are being cut illegally, which is a bad thing for the animals, for the climate and for the country, even for our planet.

We should remember, when we read a magazine, or when we through away a piece of paper, that the paper mill-industry is one of the most polluting industries and it uses more energy than most other industries. 

I think in European Union it would be important to control where the wood comes from that we buy, and in what kind of conditions it has been cut. And maybe we should start thinking if we really need all this paper we use every day and pay attention on recycling the paper even more.

Somehow you just ask yourself, does it really matter where I put this particular piece of paper?
