hmmm... burning all that biomass... haha, let's do some maths:

change booklet weighs about 5 grams, and say it was 80% carbon in the form of wood pulp (ie. paper). now that's 4 grams of carbon.

so, by number of moles of carbon per booklet = m/Mm = 4/12 = 0.33333 moles.

combustion eqn: C + O2 => CO2

therefore 0.33333 moles of CO2 is formed per booklet burnt.

0.33333 * 24.47 = 8.156 litres of CO2.
each booklet we burn will unleash 8.156 litres of bad bad greenhouse gas CO2.

8.156 * 60000 booklets in state = 489.4 megalitres of CO2.

:( for environment,
:D for us.

all this chem/maths study is making me sad :(

lol.. if u've already indulged in this pleasure, then u may still participate in the formalities by incinerating an appropriate substitute eg. a change essay, a change paper or one of those writing booklets u smuggle out of the exam.
