What actually is paper? Anyone in his or her right mind's answer would be something to write or draw on. That is correct, of course. However, according to the Oxford Dictionary, paper is a material manufactured in thin sheets from the pulp of wood or other fibrous substances.
As a matter of fact, there are many meanings to the term 'paper'. There are also a lot of things to be known about paper, not just its meaning. How is paper made? Where did paper come from? What gave our ancestors the inspiration to invent this material called 'paper'? Why paper to write on with ink? Why not leaves to be made into books instead? Will paper be used up tomorrow? Or perhaps the day after tomorrow?
Have you actually thought about all those questions? If you haven't, then you'd better start thinking! Knowing the answers to those questions will increase your knowledge about paper and possibly teach you some noble lessons too. On this blog, we'll do our best to answer any enquiries about this material we are all using.
At the same time, limit your paper usage. You should recycle it after you're done with it. You never know - someday, your tiny little act might just save the Earth we are living in.
