Homework is also bad for the environment

Not only is homework bad (as children and teens can no longer do hobbies and exercise; some get obese from this - don't laugh, it's not funny) for depressing and wasting people's time, it is also bad for the environment. How many times have each of your teacher's given you pages and pages of stuff to do - (i.e, Maths homework, history, English, and actually ALL subjects, except maybe Art and Languages, usually anyway) or booklets 'they have kindly prepared for you.' Paper comes from trees. I know you can now get sustainable and recycled paper, but school's don't, because it is slightly more expensive (for a VERY good reason). Trees support the environment. Without them there would be no life on Earth. Deforestation is happening at an alarming rate. Not only do your teacher's give you paper, you are expected to give homework in on a form of paper. There is a teacher at my school who said that it is more important to be neat, than waste paper, I was outraged. (Just in case your wondering, she is a helper called Shyama).
