Can you think of a country without paper? British former Prime Minister, Gordon Brown, wanted to
change Britain into such a country. " Everyone in the country will be given his or her own website within
four years , " he said.
After people have their own websites, they can do things on the Internet. For example, people can
"see" doctors on the Internet,and doctors can also answer them through the Internet; parents can learn
about their children' studies on the Internet. Also, teachers don't need to give them the report cards.
This not only saves time,but also saves money. Many people won't need to go to their offices; they
can work at home. He also said that it would save billions of pounds a year. Most importantly, it is
especially good for the environment. The country will save a lot of paper if people do so many things
through the Internet. Saving paper can save a lot of trees.
If the plan is carried out, Britain will become the first country without paper. "I want Britain to be the
world leader in the digital economy. The digital company will create over 250, 000 jobs by2020,"
said Gordon Brown.
