Hey guys! Until now we've only talked about recycling plastic, but, as you probably know, recycling paper is also very important!
How many times have you used a sheet of paper only in one part, leaving the other white, but throwing away the sheet of paper the same? How many sheets of paper have you thrown away?
Do you know which problems you have caused?
Here a little list:
-Making paper requires a lot of energy and, of course lots of trees!
For making 79,000 sheets of paper you need a medium pine!
A family of 4 people consumes 2 trees a year!
If there are 7,6 billions of people in the world, they are 3,8 billions the trees that are cut down every year!!! It is a lot!
-If you cut down trees, animals that live there don't know where to go and probably they will die!
-Also, trees produce oxygen! If they are cut down, they can't produce it and there will be more carbon dioxide, which will get worse the problem of climate change! And you know that this will cause other disasters! (look at the post "Global warming")
-If we breathe lots of co2, it could be dangerous for our health!
So: why don't we start recycling paper? We can solve many problems! Save animals, plants, the place where we live and our lives!
How can we do it? Easy! We can use a sheet of paper in every part, if using paper isn't necessary (maybe you can use a computer/tablet/phone for writing) you shouldn't use it! And also: let's buy used books or go to a library! There are many web-stores where you can buy them!
Thanks if you are doing it! Till soon!
