Le papier

S1 E10
·
2015

Paper is everywhere: in the office, in bathrooms and toilets... If the arrival of digital technology has made it possible to curb the consumption of paper, the real problem remains the quantity of water necessary for its manufacture because for 1 kilo of paper, it is necessary on average 500 liters of water... Throughout this capsule, which illustrates the course of the creation of paper, from the cutting of a tree to the dedication of a book, a counter turns quickly and displays the distance covered, that is to say from 0 cm to 2,658 kilometers.
