"What the
is Paper Racism?"
= the belief that paper must exclusively be made of wood and the colour white
"I created this term because I thought in order to solve deforestation, we must eradicate this prejudice from our minds.
What if our prejudices are the only things holding us back? What if eradicating "paper racism" is the first step to leaving our children a better world, a world willed with hopes to live in? Hence, with a firm belief that changing minds can change the world, I initiated the #stoppaperracism campaign.
"But some people hate that I'm linking an environmental issue with racism. Chill, I'm not saying white is a bad colour. It's a colour the world needs, just like every other colour. I just thought that because non-wood pulp paper is not the white colour we're used to, people are hesitant to use it. Because I have been using it and loving it for a years now, I selected sugarcane paper, which has a natural oatmeal colour. If you try using it, trust me, you won't be able to stop :).
My point is, that if we get rid of 'paper racism', we can continue to use paper, without chopping down a single tree."

What we do
We cool the Earth, one page at a time.
We eradicate 'Paper Racism'.
In fact, white is not the only colour of paper, and wood is not the only material for paper. There are many sustainable alternatives to wood pulp paper, such as sugarcane paper, which has the colour of your breakfast oatmeal!
We make use of existing waste materials.
Sugarcane paper is made from bagasse (waste generated from sugar production). For every 10 tons of sugar produced, 3 tons of bagasse are produced.
We save trees.
Sugarcane paper contains 0% wood pulp. Four A4 paper boxes produced using sugarcane equals one mature tree preserved.
We help mitigate climate change.
By preserving trees, which absorb CO2, we help reduce global warming.
We share our ideas with people like you.
As change requires collective action, we aid institutions and individuals in their transitions from wood pulp paper to sustainable sugarcane paper.

"We don't have much time, but we can't give up now.
42,000,000 trees are cut down per DAY, but we can easily decrease that number.
Wherever in the world you are, you can buy sugarcane paper with a simple click on the internet. Share this website with your friends so that they can do the same.
