Paper and CO2

Posted on 2012/04/09 by bccl

Mother Jones points out that trees sequester carbon dioxide and turning trees into paper maintains most of that sequestration. MJ points out that the problem comes when you throw that paper into the landfill – it breaks down pretty quickly and defeats your CO2 sequestration. However, what if you keep your paper in your library? Buy books and sequester carbon! http://motherjones.com/environment/2012/04/paper-carbon-dioxide-sequester
