Pulp Fact Environmental Implications of the Paper Cycle

The second stage involved selection of two rice producing local governments in each state. From each local government, two rice producing villages were randomly selected. It should be noted that the list of the local governments and villages producing rice in each state are readily available at the state ADP. The fourth and final stage was the random selection of 20 farmers from each village, making a total of 320 farmers for the study. The selections were done to cover the various rice ecologies available in each state. The list of farmers in each village is also readily available at the office of the village block extension. | Pulp Fact Environmental Implications of the Paper Cycle Nigel Dudley Sue Stolton and Jean-Paul Jeanrenaud WWF International 1996 1 Preface The pulp and paper industry might be justified in feeling under environmental siege at the moment. No sooner had companies started responding to public fears about water pollution and organochlorine contamination than demands for greater recycling began to be heard followed by complaints about methods of forest management. Now environmental groups are increasingly demanding a reduction in total paper consumption. Battered executives may be thinking that they are trapped in a no-win situation. To some extent this is difficult to avoid. Environmental scientists are constantly learning more about side effects of industry problems that were unrecognised a few years ago are now seen as being of critical importance. Consumer pressure has added an important new dimension to corporate planning. Industry has had to become adept at meeting new challenges and demands. Nonetheless life would be a lot easier if both industry and environmentalists were clear about what was needed to reduce the environmental impacts of the pulp and paper industry to acceptable levels. The following WWF report is a contribution to this end. It summarises environmental issues connected with the pulp and paper industry and suggests solutions that will suit both producers and consumers of paper. Neither WWF nor the authors of the report are opposed to paper. Indeed as writers and researchers we probably rely more than average on books papers and reports. However we do believe that the environmental impacts of paper use are currently greater than is either acceptable or necessary. And we think that in some cases paper use could and should be substantially reduced. Nor is WWF seeking a confrontation with the pulp and paper industry. Our instinct is to work with industry to seek common solutions to environmental problems. That does not mean that we will not be .
