What if you woke up one day and there was no longer any paper in the world? What would life look like for you? Without even realizing it, paper plays a big role in our day-to-day lives and provides a level of convenience, organization, and creativity to the things we do. What would living in a paper-less world look like? Allow us to paint this picture for you…

Not A World We Want To Be In!

Imagine planning to celebrate your child’s birthday, but you have no wrapping paper for their gifts. Imagine craving your neighbourhood’s favourite nyama choma joint but having no napkins to clean up after. Imagine not having any billboards or ads to distract you while you are in morning traffic. What medium would our painters, authors and musicians use to bring us into their world? How many times would you have to repaint your home because your children have drawn all over your walls?

Not Very Enticing, Right?

What we are trying to say is, life would get pretty chaotic and disorganized if we did not have the ability to put it all down on paper! Paper brings out the creativity in us, it allows us to clean up after ourselves, and ensures our lives go according to schedule. A paperless world would make our lives difficult, messy, and frankly very boring because we cannot freely express ourselves. Now who would want that?
