a hundred and ninety-nine tons of paper

a hundred and ninety-nine tons of paper has already been manufactured and 50% of

it has already been wasted so it’s a

it has already been wasted so it’s a resource that is in abundance and is

resource that is in abundance and is

resource that is in abundance and is getting wasted so we thought what if we

getting wasted so we thought what if we

getting wasted so we thought what if we can make homes out of paper

can make homes out of paper

can make homes out of paper as with any innovation we had three

as with any innovation we had three

as with any innovation we had three questions to tackle the first one being
