Making it Mandatory to print on both sides of paper for all purposes.

The Issue

About 4 billion trees are cut on an average every year to meet the paper requirements, about a half of it goes for printing. I am suggesting a way of reducing the later to half. Let us urge on an International basis for making it a law to print on both sides of paper for this seems a ridiculous and archaic form of official etiquette to print single sided for legal documents and I feel deeply aggrieved and shameful about this illogical idea. There is also this deep sense of humiliation amongst people which stops them even if they want to do the right thing.  Had it been made compulsory by some law there would have been no issue. So I humbly urge people to join this mass movement and help it become a law.

Everyone is welcome to support this in their own nonviolent innovative ways.
