What old is NEW again (Part 1)

      A nation that destroys its soil destroys itself.
   Forests are the lungs of our land, purifying the air 
            and giving fresh strength to our people
           
                             ~Franklin Delano Roosevelt



Report from The Environmental Paper Network 2007:- 
 If  the United States used 10% less office paper, it would cut emissions by 1.6 million tons (about 280,000 cars off the road for one year)
We throw out tons of paper everyday.Generally, natural resources become less as more people live on this earth because more people take up more space and the rate at which resources are used up is faster than they can be replenished.
Take a look at the trees for example. Trees take years to  grow  but it can be cut dowin just minutes! Although paper may decompose in a landfill but as it sits there, it releases methane which is a harmful greenhouse gas.


Many people think that it is hard to recycle. They think that it takes a lot of time to recycle...perhaps they do not understand how. It is good for the environmental. It reduces energy need..Recycling protects the climate and resources on the earth. It reduces energy need to make new paper.
