Environmental Impact

Many of us do not have idea on where to hide papers i.e. visual aids after a report, print outs after
a discussion, used notebook leafs and the like. According to a study, 42% of the industrial wood
harvest is used to make paper. The life of a magazine or a newspaper starts with trees being cut
down in a forest and ends with the burning or recycling of old magazines or papers after we
people used it. This product could prevent the burning of papers which cause emission of
greenhouse gases. Instead of burning a paper, why not turn it into a vase. It may also enhance the
skills of a person whereby they can picture that making a paper into a vase is not a requirement
but an art work that can help the environment.
