Myths and Misinformation
This information is reproduced with kind permission from David Shorto, paper and print buyer for Friends of the
Earth and Green Peace. Unfortunately many people are dissuaded from making positive environmental choices by myths and misinformation which range from out of date to completely untrue. However, slowly but surely, progressis being made and the message is getting through.
For example:
- "Recycled paper is more damaging for the environment than non-chlorine bleached
paper produced from sustainable forests" -False:
This vague generalisation with no basis in fact has been perpetuated widely. It is an all-encompassingmyth that does not stand up to questioning. With more widespread experience of the use of recycledpaper, better general environmental awareness and the scientific rigour introduced by the requirements of forestry-certification, surely its days are numbered.
