Pulp and paper is the largest consumer of natural resources and they may lead to lower water levels on earth for fish and various aquatic species along with changes in water temperature. It also causes huge climatic change. To waste a piece of paper, it just takes a second. But a tree to produce that paper takes decades to grow.
