Recycling Paper:
Paper is obtained from trees. Due to excessive use of paper, trees are cut at an
alarming rate. Cutting of trees can be reduced by recycling paper. Recycled paper can
be used for making carry bags, envelopes, rough notebooks, food cartons etc.
To save trees we must use paper carefully. We can follow some simple practices:
