Adults do the same (often minus the crafts and textbooks) in our offices and workplaces.Įven at the grocery store, we are often asked the perennial question: “Paper or plastic?” when it comes time to check out (of course, your answer to this should always be, “I brought my own!”).

Our kids write, draw, take notes, build crafts, and read from textbooks every day in school using paper products. If some of that milk spills, you can clean it right up with a paper towel. Many of us start our days with the help of paper products-the packaging of our favorite breakfast cereal contains paperboard, as does the carton of milk we use along with it. Paper and paper products exist in every facet of our lives.
