Off the Table?

Are there aspects of your daily life that you know contribute to your carbon footprint but you are unwilling to compromise to change them? In other words, what about your life is “off the table” when it comes to carbon emissions? It's OK to admit it- we all have these cherished behaviors!

When we use computers we shall contribute to the emissions of carbon, but it is very comfortable for the students, who take notes with it. Through it, we can share documents, research, homework,... with our teachers and classmates. If it don't exist, we will have to print many papers. To produce paper, firtly you must cut the trees down to use treir wood and,then, with a industrial process you produce sheets. This method, I think , produce more pollution than that is procuded with the use of the computer.

I think also it would just be very difficult for people to give up their computers. For notes, for internet access., for email, for work and so much more. I’m the modern day I think it is almost impossible, though it depends on the job you have, to give up computers.

I agree with you @tatianapc because every day we are already cutting down trees for many things, paper being one of them. If we use computers instead we are reducing one less use of deforestation, and we have way more possibilities. For example on my personal computer, I game and do school work, while communicating with others like I am doing now. So to sum up I think computers are better than paper.
