Save our forests!!!Everywhere you look you see paper. From posters to cardboard boxes and magazines, paper is part of our live. It takes up over 40% of our waste stream, making it the top material that we throw away. That means for every 100 pounds of trash we throw away, about 35 pounds of it is paper! If we could just recycle one morning newspaper every day, we could save 41.000 trees from being cut down.
Paper recycling is the process of manufacturing old paper products and turning them into new paper products. Recycling old paper products uses 60% less energy than
manufacturing it from new materials.
Making paper is a easy process. Paper is made from trees, and every single part of the tree is either chopped up to make products or burned to create energy. When every person recycle cardboard and other paper products you can create millions of new products such as egg cartons, toiletpaper, newspaper, etc.
There are so many other products that you can make with recycled paper. And the best thing about paper recycling is that it used less chemicals and bleaches, which is safer for the environment.
