Why waste paper??

As I was thinking about this topic, which was very difficult, I was thinking about things that society consumes on a regular basis. Things that we take for granted, and things that we waste constantly. The first thing that I thought of was something that we all use and need: paper. According to www.digital-publishing.co.uk, the United States alone consumes 1/3 of the world's paper. So, what is an efficient way to stop consuming so much, yet still supply for the demand?

I was thinking of a machine that could produce paper from feeding it leaves and branches. It would have to be small, compact, light, and most of all efficient. Something that one could carry to school, to work. Because it seems like leaves are everywhere for people to use, yet we do not use it for our benefit. There is so much potential stored in these thin, fragile bits that we take for granted everyday. 

By doing this, we could cut down the levels of rainforest destruction drastically and lessen the effects of global warming because there would be more trees. I believe that this would be very efficient, and it will ultimately help humanity in their quest to find a solution to global warming.
