I believe that the best solution is to stop cutting the trees and instead of creating NEW (out of new resources) recyclable materials REUSE what we have got already and make it recyclable.
Ok, some will say still, these are non recyclable materials. But think about about paper - and must ask is all paper "good"?? most books, brochures etc have been coated with chemicals anyway in order, for example, to preserve paper's whiteness also its ink is NOT recyclable at all - what's more when burnt it produces dioxins (toxic chemicals) which in effect cause cancer and other serious illnesses. So although paper is biodegradable the other components are not - that portrays big problem.
So being Eco-Friendly needs to be more of a EFFICIENT TYPE, but to do so each and every one of us - future DESIGNERS need to learn and think about the whole cycle and apply cradle to cradle solution: think of resources which would generate no waste and be renewable.
REDUCE, REUSE, RECYCLE can be applied by everyone!
But first of all it would be very precious to have more detailed chemistry lessons (and believe me detailed can be interesting NOT BORING) would help our understanding. I think it all comes to inculcating this kind of knowledge into our present and especially younger and future generation.
After all, science is everywhere we look and using it efficiently will help us and our planet.
Apart from chemistry we can learn a lot from nature and animals themselves...
(I am well into it!)
