Papermaking is considered one of the four great inventions of ancient China (though some will argue it was actually invented in Japan). Either way it has been through a lot since the 2^nd century CE.

I work in an office, and offices use a lot of paper, some more and some less, but generally speaking there is a lot of paper coming out of those printers. Unfortunately in my office not only we print like maniacs there is also no recycling. Not just in my office, all 100 and some offices in my building. I honestly think that our trash consists of about 80% paper, and though I can’t change the world, I can save some of this paper from going to landfills.

And so to my next project: paper making!

All are welcome to come and make their paper once the wheels start rolling. You wouldn’t believe how easy it actually is.
