What harm will waste paper do?

The hazards of waste paper are as follows:

1, the production of paper has always been at the expense of destroying the environment. According to the data, at present, China consumes 20 trees and 1 00 cubic meters of water for every1ton of paper produced. If everyone wastes a piece of paper every day, the whole country will waste about 2700 tons of paper and 270 thousand tons of water.

2.2700 tons of paper means that 54000 trees will be destroyed; Also, these 270,000 tons of water turned into sewage after papermaking. If these sewage are injected into a large reservoir with drinkable water quality, it will suddenly become harmful wastewater.

Experts say that sewage needs to be treated by expensive treatment plants before it can be reused as purified water. However, it is said that even if a small and medium-sized sewage treatment plant is built in a developed city, it must be weighed repeatedly, because the investment of each such sewage treatment plant is more than 1 100 million yuan. Of course, these sewage can also flow into rivers, but the consequence is that one day the last drop of water that humans see is their own tears.
