Going Green 7 Exercise 2B, page 135 paper paper is all around us.0:01
It helps us communicate, create and illustrate.0:23
Newspapers, magazines and posters are made from it.0:27
Paper can be glossy or matte, thin or thick.0:31
Most paper products are made from trees, although paper can also be made from cloth or grass.0:34
But paper is also the number one material we throw away.0:40
In every 100 kg of household rubbish, we throw away 39 kg of it is paper.0:45
Newspapers alone take up about 14% of landfill space.0:52
How Paper is Made after the trees have been harvested, they are taken to a paper factory.0:57
The bark and the roots are burned and used to produce energy.1:03
The rest of the tree is washed and then chopped into small chips for pulping.1:08
Pulping is the chemical process that separates the wood fibers from lignin and other wood parts.1:12
After pulping, paper is a light brown color.1:19
Recycled Paper Recycled paper is made from waste paper mixed with fresh wood pulp.1:23
Almost all paper can be recycled today.1:29
Waste paper must be sorted, as some types, such as cardboard boxes, are harder to recycle compared to newspapers.1:32
Old newspapers are usually made into new newsprint, the paper used in newspapers, egg cartons or paperboard.1:39
Unlike most other recyclables, paper cannot be recycled over and over again as the fibers eventually become too weak and short to be used again.1:48
How to Save Paper don't throw away magazines or newspapers immediately.1:58
Use them to clean the windows.2:03
Keep paper that is printed on one side only.2:05
The blank side can be used to scribble Messages, shopping lists, etc. Share magazines and newspapers with friends or borrow them from the library.2:08
Tear out pages from old magazines to line the shelves of a shoe cabinet, for example.2:17
Use old magazines to make confetti with a hole punch.2:22
Use paper from magazines to wrap things.2:26
Take any unwanted magazines to the nearest recycling center.2:29
1,000 kilograms of paper made from recycled fibers conserves about 27,000 liters of water, 18 to 34 trees, over 4,000 kilowatts of electricity, and 27 kilograms of air pollutants.2:33
