I have diagnosed ADHD, so I clean my school binders about once a year. It’s my last day of school for this year today, decided to throw it all out, and was met with this horrendous amalgamation of tree pulp. Because the thousands we pay to DataHoover Google yearly for “laptops” and ransomware cloud storage means absolutely nothing. Can’t fucking wait to graduate.
This might seem a lot to you but that amount of wood could barely heat an apartment for an hour.
In terms of wasted resources this is pretty neglectable, especially considering that education is among the better things to waste resources on.
But for the record Im not saying we arent wasting huuuge amounts of paper, especially for advertisement, just trying to put it into perspective.
