We use paper for many things, from birthday

We use 12.5 million tonnes every year! (24 trees
make one tonne, so that’s 300 million trees!)
What should we do to help the planet?
Reduce waste: reuse and recycle!
• Don’t print everything you write on a computer.
• Don’t throw old paper away. Reuse it.
• Buy recycled paper. In Britain, we recycle 66%.
But we can do more!

• Send emails, not cards.
• Write on both sides of paper.
