All chemicals used for manufacturing matches are nontoxic to animals and human being. So water drained from match factories is completely safe on the earth.
Matchsticks are made of Aspen trees. Aspens grow very fast, faster than most of other trees, but not useful for building houses or for making pulp. Therefore, felling Aspens influences neither its growing map nor the environment on the earth.
More than 85% of papers used for outer boxes are recycle papers, and more than 90% used for matchboxes and book-matches are also recycle papers. All boxes of matches are made friendly with nature on the earth.

Be careful so that a piece of burning head might not hit other person near you. As shown underneath, hold a matchstick with three fingers and strike the side of matchbox forward and downward.
