Protecting the environment is super important to us at Words With Heart – few people realise just how serious of an impact the traditional paper and print industry has on native forests and the wildlife that call those places home.
of the commercially cut timber in Australia is estimated to be used for paper production.
of the wood logged in Victoria’s native forests ends up as pulp and paper.
Some of it comes from managed plantations, but too much of it comes from native, old-growth forests with high conservation value.
Worth of illegally logged wood and paper products are sold in Australia from places such as Sumatra, Borneo, and New Guinea every year. Two-thirds of Australia’s printing paper is imported from overseas.
The paper industry is the world’s 4th largest industrial user of energy and a significant emitter of greenhouse gases.
We use 100% post-consumer recycled paper for our notebook and journal pages, and 100% recycled card for our covers.
Our paper products are printed with vegetable-based inks and green electricity. It’s as eco-friendly as it gets.
Compared to a ton of virgin wood pulp paper, our pages use 63% less energy, 82% less solid waste, and 58% less water, and save 21 trees!
"Kulinda mazingira ni muhimu sana kwetu katika ""Word With Heart"" - watu wachache wanatambua jinsi athari mbaya ya jadi ya karatasi na uchapishaji ina juu ya misitu ya asili na wanyama wa porini ambao wito maeneo hayo nyumbani." Kwa mfano, idadi kubwa ya mbao zilizokatwa kibiashara nchini Australia zinatumiwa kutengeneza karatasi. Mimea ya mimea ya Victoria ya asili ya mimea ya mimea ya mimea ya mimea ya mimea ya mimea ya mimea ya mimea ya mimea ya mimea ya mimea ya mimea ya mimea ya mimea ya mimea ya mimea ya mimea ya mimea ya mimea ya mimea ya mimea ya mimea ya mimea ya mimea. Baadhi ya maji hayo yanatoka kwenye mashamba, lakini mengi yanatoka kwenye misitu ya asili yenye thamani kubwa ya uhifadhi. Kila mwaka, bidhaa za mbao na karatasi zinazokatwa kinyume cha sheria zinauzwa nchini Australia kutoka maeneo kama vile Sumatra, Borneo, na New Guinea. Thuluthi mbili za karatasi ya kuchapisha ya Australia huingizwa kutoka ng'ambo. Sekta ya karatasi ni ya nne kwa ukubwa duniani kwa matumizi ya nishati na ni moja ya makampuni makubwa ya kutokeza gesi za chafu. Sisi kutumia 100% baada ya matumizi ya karatasi ya kuchakata kwa ajili ya karatasi yetu ya kumbukumbu na kurasa za jarida, na 100% kadi kuchakata kwa ajili ya vifuniko yetu. Bidhaa zetu za karatasi huchapishwa kwa wino wa mboga na umeme wa kijani kibichi. Ni kama mazingira ya kirafiki kama inapata. Kwa kulinganisha na tani moja ya karatasi ya pulp ya mti wa bikira, kurasa zetu hutumia nishati kidogo kwa 63%, taka ndogo kwa 82%, na maji kidogo kwa 58%, na kuokoa miti 21.
