Paperless Society

 A Paperless society is one in
which paper communication

(written documents, mail, letters,
etc.) is replaced by electronic
communication and storage.
 In simple words we can say that
a paperless society can be a
society/world in which the use of
the paper should be very less
instead of that electronic devices
should be used so that we can
save trees and also we can
control the Global warming
which is one of the greatest
threat to the society.
 The concept was given
by Frederick Wilfrid Lancaster in
1978.
 As we all know the demand
of paper is increasing day
by day.
 Due to this reason
deforestation has also
elevated to a very high
extent.
 On this basis global
warming increases, soil
erosion increases, water
level is increasing and the
earth is getting warmer day
by day.
 Moreover papers are wasted
instead of getting utilized.
 6.75 billion $ is wasted on pages every year in india.
 If normal A4 size weights 5.34gm(0.00000534 ton)
 The ministry of electronic enviournment has a total of
incoming & outgoing document to be -317747 in 3
months
 So the amount of paper wasted in year will
be=317747*4*0.00000534=6.8tons
 In the same way birth and death documents=125 tons,
 Ministry of law & justice=27 tons
 Other government institute=42 tons
 Besides this each book weights 4.5kg and folder 0.5kg
the judicial department alone has 239.25 tons of books
and 20.5 tons of folders.
 In all around 461 tons of paper are wasted every year.
 If we save one tone of
paper than…
 17 adult pine trees will be saved.
 70 m2 area will be protected.
 4100KwH less energy will be
consumed.
 32 Tons of water will be saved.
 1750 lt fuel-oil will be saved.
 270kg waste gas is prevented to
penetrate to atmosphere.
 It is found that the amount of
paper that one person consumes
in an office within a year causes
7 trees to be cut.
 Sign Up for E-Statements
Sign up to receive electronic bills and statements. Instead of
receiving paper statements each month, companies send
electronic statements and bills to your email. Entities offering
electronic statements include banks, cable companies, and utility
companies.
 Digitalize Your Documents
Scan documents that you need to keep, and store them
electronically on computer hard drive. Scanning old papers saves
a ton of space and reduces clutter. However, if you don’t
correctly label documents, finding them again will be a huge
chore. Set up a system for labeling documents, and maintain
consistency as you label and scan your files. Create and save a
master document that helps you navigate your online filing
system. Include notes about files that you suspect could become
misplaced or lost in your master document.
Start Purging and Recycling
Once you’ve stopped receiving junk mail, signed up for e-
statements, and started paying bills online, you need to start
sorting through the existing paper you have in your home.
Essential steps to going paperless include sorting, purging, and
organizing your paperwork. On the bright side, this boring and
tedious large-scale project can give you an awesome feeling of
accomplishment when completed.
 Use a Tablet or Cell Phone for Notes
Since you always have your cellphone with you, you won’t lose or
forget your notes. Tablets can help you save paper in a number of other
ways, too. You can also use your iPad or tablet to take notes in class or at
a meeting.
 Switch to a Kindle or E-reader
Recycle old books, and buy e-books in the future to cut back on the
waste of paper. If you enjoy reading, eliminating physical books will free
up a surprising amount of space in your home. If you have a tablet or a
smartphone, recycle paper maps and encyclopedias, too
 We should make people know about the modern
technology which can be used as an substitute of the
paper.
 Many people cannot afford modern technologies and
they even don’t know the benefits of technology.
 Multinational companies should arrange seminars about
their products related to such technologies so that
illiterates know about the benefits and also due to this
there sales will increase.
 Products should be affordable for a common man.
 Contract system should be adopted in India similar to
United States for buying the electronic gadgets
 Population.
 Illiteracy.
 Poverty.
 Ignoring the
technology.
 Lack of awareness
