Do we use too much paper? What can we do?

A short film to start our discussions.

What we know already about PAPER…

We know it is important to use both sides of the paper.

WHY?

FS – We dont want to waste paper.
CK – It comes from trees.
FS – We dont want to cut down the trees.
AS – Trees make air.
JD – If we cut down trees animals wont be able to make a nest.
ZS – We wont be able to get brand new air.
LM – Trees make pencils.
CL – If you cut down trees the birds will not be able to get a nest for winter.

We watched the video. And we thought…

SF – It made me feel upset – because are people are cutting the trees.
EMcR – It made me think the land is in big trouble.
LMcF – It made me feel sad – because we are cutting the trees down and my friend who is an animal wont have a nest any more.
KB – I was sad because the squirrels might be in those trees when we cut them down.
FS – I felt sad because there might be owls living there.

We went into our cooperative groups to discuss what we could do to help solve this problem.

We made notes on our discussions…

We talked a little about the supply chain and which bits of it we could influence.
