Paper recycling...

Today, I like to invite you to recycle paper... of course, one from the million way to save our world... :D

What are the main types of paper in everyday use which can be recycled?

1. Office white paper
2. Newspapers, magazines, telephone directories and pamphlets
3. Cardboard
4. Mixed or coloured paper
5. Computer print out paper

What can I do to reduce the amount of paper being wasted?

1. Try not to use as much in the first place! Use the back of sheets of paper as well as the front - look to see if that piece of paper you were going to put in the bin could be used as scrap paper for many uses eg to make a shopping list, to jot down your dental appointment or to leave a note for someone.
2. Buy recycled paper products wherever possible.
3. Reuse envelopes - sticky labels to cover the old address and re-seal the envelope are widely available, also made from recycled paper. Many charities sell them, so you can support them at the same time.
4. Playgroups and schools may appreciate being given odd rolls of wallpaper, or any other kind of paper, for painting on or for other uses in the classroom. They are also often glad to receive newspapers to cover the tables for craft activities.
5. When you buy a pint of milk or a soft drink, think about the container it is in. Is there an accessible recycling bank for the packaging, or might you end up throwing it away? It would be better to choose the product in the container you know you can dispose of locally for recycling.
6. By putting a "no junk mail" sign by your letterbox you can cut junk mail such as pizza delivery leaflets by around 90%.

This is only some of the way to reduce the amount of waste paper. I believe you can do more than that. Just imagine that there only small area cover by forest in this world and think how many oxygen that forest can produce for use to breath and stay alive for a longer time? It is scary when we imagine it like that right? But that is the fact that we have to face if we do not do something from right now...if we not experience it, our next generation will do...

Thus, don't forget reminder yourself and invite others to recycle.....Love yourself and our world by recycling...
