(Reduce, Reuse & Recycle).
To know what is the importance
of saving our mother earth.

home.
To reuse the used paper and save

3. Why Papeles de Segunda?
Ever since I was a kid, my mother always wanted our home
to be clean. She taught me how to clean my room and our
house. Until one day, I saw my mother cutting out used paper
and I asked her why is she doing such things. She said that she
wants to conserve and reuse the one side used paper as her
notepad. She put some padding glue and viola! She reuse the
other side of the paper on writing notes and etc. Eventually, I
get used to it and adapt it also.
Papeles de Segunda is the title I choose
for my project because it will focus on the reuse paper.
Segunda is a Filipino term use for second hand items.
Combination of two words will give you the meaning of reusing
and recycling the paper.

4. Why Paper is important?
Paper is a versatile material with many uses, including
printing, painting, graphics, signage, design, packaging,
decorating, writing, and cleaning. Paper are from trees.

How many paper we throw away each year?
The world produces 300 million tons of paper every year.
According to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, printing and
writing papers typically found in a school or office environment such
as copier paper, computer printouts, and notepads comprise the
largest category of paper product consumption and landfill waste.
As we all know that paper is made up from trees. If we continue
to waste paper many trees decrease and our mountains will destroy.
That is why I choose to recycle the used paper. Even simple ways I can
contribute in saving the environment in gradual deterioration.
5. STEP 1- KEEPING THE USED PAPER
For Example:
My mother have a
small printing service
inside our Subdivision. We
can’t always sure that the
printed material is ok so
sometimes my mother
encounter printing issues.
My brother and I, also use
papers and sometimes we
encounter mistakes so we
use another good paper.
Those used paper is separated to good paper
and store it on my mini organizer.
6. STEP 2- SORTING OF PAPER
⪢ This is may favorite part,
sorting of the used paper.
Separating the one side used
paper to double sided used
paper. One side used paper will
used again while the double
sided used paper is for safe
keeping and it will send to
junkshop and we can sell it.

STEP 3- REUSING OF USED PAPER
1ST- Reusing the One sided used paper for PRINTING.
Putting a line on one
side used paper
(to determine that it is a
reused paper
NOW IT IS READY FOR
PRINTING.USING THE
OTHER SIDE OF THE
PAPER.

STEP 3- REUSING OF USED PAPER
2nd- Reusing the One sided used paper as SCRATCH PAPER. This
can be use in taking down notes important information. Also
taking notes during class most specially in solving math problems
instead of using a good paper we can use this.
9. “ In simple way, I am
proud that I am saving the
environment. I will continue
this project and SHARE it to
others.
Let’s practice the 3R’s
inside our home and our
school. Be part of change!
