Safety Match |
|
| A tree is cut, and made into thousands of matches. |
| Every second, thousands of people light a match ... a little piece of wood is burned and not considered. |
| A tree was burned in less than a minute without even a thought. |
|
| The facts: |
| Every year the world consumes six trillion (6,000,000,000,000) matches... |
| - that is, every second the world consumes 190,000 matches. |
| One tree of the highest quality timber is required for about 1,000,000 matches... |
| - that is, every 5 seconds one high-quality tree is burned as matches. |
| A single match machine makes 250,000,000 matches per day... |
| - that is, 250 of the highest quality trees are destroyed daily by a single match machine. |
| For each tree cut down for matches, only two new trees are planted at most... |
| - that is, if a newly planted little tree survives, it will take 30-50 years (possibly more) to grow. |
|
| Use a lighter whenever possible... |
