The paper cuttings,paper wastes,paper packets of goods....we hardly care about all those Garbage THINGS...We even don't want to know about all this thing...because there are Garbage companies,Municipals,Government and other authorities to take care of all this...but i think this carelessness will be hazardous!!

Did You Know?

The average office employee usees approximately 10,000 sheets of paper a year, 

creating a stack almost four feet high.

before a decade this Careless Attitude could be tolerable...but in present and Future,do you really think this attitude is going to work any more?...........
my friend the answer is Straight NO!

Let me show you  HOW?

Due to Paper wastes very serious problems like Deforestation, Air pollution, Water pollution occurs and like other wastes it also  faces the additional hazard of toxic inks, dyes and polymers that could be potentially carcinogenic when incinerated or co mingled with groundwater via traditional burial methods such as modern landfills. 
Waste water discharges for a pulp and paper mill contains solids, nutrients and dissolved organic matter, and unless at low levels. Nutrients such as nitrogen and phosphorus can cause eutrophication of fresh water bodies such as lakes and rivers.
