NEWSPAPERS ARE ENVIRONMENTALLY FRIENDLY

1. NEWSPRINT IS MADE FROM WASTE FROM LUMBER MILLS

2. TREES ARE NOT CUT TO MAKE NEWSPRINT IT COMES FROM SAWDUST WHICH WILL BIODEGRADE IN A SEASON.

3. NOTE THAT ANYTHING MADE FROM TREES (YOUR HOUSE,FURNITURE,PAPER,SOME CLOTH, IS ALL BIODEGRADEABLE). PLASTIC BASED PRODUCTS ARE NOT

4. THE INK ON MOST NEWSPRINT IS VEGETABLE BASED.

5. THE NEWSPAPER ITSELF IS BIODERADEABLE AND CAN BE RECYCLED

WAYS TO RECYLE NEWSPAPER

1. MAKE PAPER MACHE’ PLAY WITH YOUR CHILDREN

2. MAKE BIODERADEABLE PLANT POTS. YOU CAN PUT THE PLANT AND POT IN SOIL AND IT WILL BE PROTECTED FROM FROST AND BUGS AND WEEDS AND IT WILL BREAKDOWN AND BECOME FURTILIZER.

3. USE SEVERAL PAGES TO MAKE A WEED BARRIER FOR THE GARDEN. MOST COMMERCIAL WEED BARRIERS ARE NOT BIODEGRADEABE BUT STAY IN THE GROUND UNTIL ONE RMOVES THEM.

4. CUT STIPS OF NEWSPRINT WET THEM DOWN AND PAINT THEM(WITH ENVIROMENT FRIENDLY PAINT). USE THE STRIPS TO WEAVE BEAUTIFUL BASKETS THAT CAN BE USED INDOORS OR OUT.

5. TAKE NEWSPRINT TO A PAPER RECYCLE DEPOT WHERE THEY ARE SHREDDED

6. SHRED NEWSPRINT FOR PACKING FRAGILE ITEMS INSTEAD OF PLASTIC BASED PACKING MATERIAL
