With regard to the article "Empower recycles 11 tons of paper" (Aug. 12), in this digital age more paper is being used that ever before. There is a joke that 500 years from now when they are excavating an archeological site, they will say: "Look, this was once a paper mill. And they issued passports, travel documents, exit-re-entry visas, and driving licenses as well." This is actually not far from the truth. Barthol, Online response Why did the company use 11 tons of paper in the first place. It would be better to use electronic communications and to remove all the copying machines from the company. The way to save the environment is not in recycling, it is in preventing the use of material that is causing the destruction of the environment, such as paper. Khdmohd, Online response
