Let's Reduce the Waste of A4 Papers

I guess A4 paper is one of the things that we dispose everyday.
Many of us waste a lot of A4 papers.
We just don't care about it.


But do you know how much is the rubbish can be created by A4 paper?

Let us do some mathematics.

The size of A4 paper is 623.7 cm2. (29.7 cm x 21 cm)

If we dispose one piece of A4 paper everyday,
the total size of A4 papers that each of us disposes in a year will be 22.77 m2. (623.7 cm2 x 365 days)

Malaysia's population is around 28.25 millions people.
So,
if every Malaysian disposes one piece of A4 paper everyday,
the total size of A4 papers that Malaysians dispose in a year will be 643.11 km2. (22.7 m2 x 28.25 millions)

How large is 643.11 km2??

It's 95% larger than Malaysia!

So,
let's reducing the waste of A4 paper!
Let's go green!
