we can change things

It may seem like we can’t

do anything at home to stop forests being cut down. But

we can, let’s stop using so many new paper products

and choose things made

from recycled paper instead, like loo rolls and notepads.

fact

The averag e

family of fo ur throws

away a ton of paper

in a year. T hat’s the

The good news

is that the more

things we recycle, the

less energy is spent

making new things!
