BIODIVERSITY

“Biodiversity is traditionally defined as the variety of life on Earth in all its forms. It comprises the number of species, their genetic variation and the interaction of these life forms within complex ecosystems.” source: <a href="https://www.europarl.europa.eu/news/en/headlines/society/20200109STO69929/biodiversity-loss-what-is-causing-it-and-why-is-it-a-concern">https://www.europarl.europa.eu/news/en/headlines/society/20200109STO69929/biodiversity-loss-what-is-causing-it-and-why-is-it-a-concern</a>

PAPER(pulp and paper industry)

But if we want things to change we all need to be involved – as individuals, citizens of the world.&nbsp; To minimize the effects of paper industry on the environment and forests as well, there are some steps to make difference. Challenge yourself not to use single-use paper: This means&nbsp; refusing unnecessary packaging, leaflets and paper tickets. We’ve come to the point where people need to contribute to a greener environment by changing the way they manage their personal wastes.You can use both sides of paper and print if it is really necessary.&nbsp; Paper is recyclable : We need to make an effort to be consistent about recycling.&nbsp; Remember to Reduce, Reuse and Recycle – and encourage everyone you know to do it. https://paperontherocks.com/2018/11/28/environmental-impact-of-deforestation/
