How will eBooks eco-friendly?
You just look at this data and then decide your
best reading option whether Malayalam ebook or print book.
1. In Canada, production of around 50 million books
can add 50,000 metric ton of carbon dioxide annually.
2. One book causes approx. 4.5 kg of CO2 emission
against our planet. But, As a whole, one book can supply around 34 kg of CO2
because, there are several steps in it's life cycle like- tree felling,
transportation, paper production, printing, use of machines, binding, wasting
etc,.
3. This is a basic lesson that tree absorbs CO2
from the atmosphere. An average tree can use around 7.5 to 13 kg per year. In
other words, one acre of forest tree stores about 2.6 ton annually.
4. Have you heard a slogan "A ton of recycled
paper saves 17 trees"? So that, one ton of newsprint is cutting nearly 12
trees. At the same time, 24 trees are needed for making one ton of quality
paper like book paper or office paper.
5. Re-cycling of paper is a good attempt. Anyhow,
even in the developed country like USA, only 5 to 10 percent of recycling is
there. That means, print books that are strongly depends on new tree felling.
6. At the end of a printed book, it generates
methane-carbon emission during degradation. Normally, books of old stock may be
moved to recycling but majority will move to fire.
