Environmental Impact

Many of us do not have idea on where to hide papers i.e. visual aids after a report, print outs aftera discussion, used notebook leafs and the like. According to a study, 42% of the industrial woodharvest is used to make paper. The life of a magazine or a newspaper starts with trees being cutdown in a forest and ends with the burning or recycling of old magazines or papers after we

people used it. This product could prevent the burning of papers which cause emission ofgreenhouse gases. Instead of burning a paper, why not turn it into a vase. It may also enhance theskills of a person whereby they can picture that making a paper into a vase is not a requirement

but an art work that can help the environment.
