We're living on this planet as if we had another one to go to. Dare the
world to save the planet.
Let's start recycling!
Why Recycle Old Newspapers?
- Reduction of waste materials sent to incinerators and landfills which in turn minimizes the emission of harmful gases such as methane into the environment.
- 37 per cent of the output of methane gas is from landfills so by recycling organic materials like paper, anaerobic decomposition and methane gas production is significantly reduced.
- Recycling old newspapers is also a wonderful way to conserve the few natural resources left on the planet.
- Manufacture of paper requires timber, one of the reasons why multitudes of trees are felled every year.
- When paper is recycled, you help in the conservation of timber, minerals and water.
- When a ton of paper is recycled every year, 7000 gallons of water and 17 trees are saved.
- Every time a ton of paper is recycled, 4,200 kilowatt energy hours can be saved!
