Reduce amount of paper usage between teachers

Reduce amount of paper usage between teachers
Why this petition matters
Everyday teachers hand out loads of paper, including: Tests, instructions, homework, and assignments. There should be a transition of 50% of the paper work load to be online. #TreesAreImportant, and that's why teachers should use less papers and move to digital assignments. Cutting paper usage won't have that much of a negative impact on the student body. Most of our education can be transferred online.Trees contribute to their environment by providing oxygen, improving air quality, climate amelioration, conserving water, preserving soil, and supporting wildlife.During the process of photosynthesis, trees take in carbon dioxide and produce the oxygen we breathe. According to the U.S. Department of Agriculture, “One acre of forest absorbs six tons of carbon dioxide and puts out four tons of oxygen. This is enough to meet the annual needs of 18 people.” Trees, shrubs and turf also filter air by removing dust and absorbing other pollutants like carbon monoxide, sulfur dioxide and nitrogen dioxide. After trees intercept unhealthy particles, rain washes them to the ground. Both above and below ground, trees are essential to the eco-systems in which they reside. Far reaching roots hold soil in place and fight erosion. Trees absorb and store rainwater which reduce runoff and sediment deposit after storms. This helps the ground water supply recharge, prevents the transport of chemicals into streams and prevents flooding. Fallen leaves make excellent compost that enriches soil.
