The story of the “intelligent” human race is creating a serious threat to the ecological balance because of the increasing degradation of trees to match the ever-increasing demand for paper. Approximately 300 trees are cut for every one ton of mill-made paper. As a result the forest covered land of the earth has come down from 30% to around 16% in today’s date. Acting “intelligently”, as ever, mankind brought back the age old cult of handmade paper, as a respite, to reduce the drastic deduction of trees, to save the world.
