Recycle Paper
by Zazengo
When we recycle one morning newspaper every day, we save 41,000 trees from being cut down.
Paper makes up 35 of every 100 pounds of our trash making it the top material that we throw away.
Here are some benefits of recycling paper:
Recycling facts:
* Recycling newspaper saves 14% of landfill space
* For every ton of newspaper recycled you can save enough energy to power a television for 31 hours
* Recycling one ton of paper can save 17 trees
* Reduces sulfur dioxide emissions
* Uses less fossil fuels
* Most paper can be recycled up to 8 times to create new products
Leaves more trees for the sustainability of our environment
