Introduction

Recycling is important to all people that live on this planet.  Thirty five percent of all our waste is paper.  To decrease the amounts of waste that we produce we have to recycle as much paper as possible.  This will save trees from being cut down.  This is good because trees convert carbon dioxide into oxygen, and carbon dioxide is a greenhouse gas, which contributes to global warming.  The solution, conservation of paper, is really quite simple.  The overall cooperation at your school and their enthusiasm are what determines the effectiveness of any recycling program.  The information that you find during your quest will help improve any recycling program.
