Recycling school paper conserves natural resources like trees and water, saves energy, and reduces greenhouse gas emissions and landfill space. Recycling one ton of paper can save 17 trees, 7,000 gallons of water, 380 gallons of oil, and provide enough energy to power an average home for six months, while reducing carbon emissions by one metric ton. Pupils at Khmelnytskyi SZOSH 6 school in Ukraine started an extensive paper recycling program to help the environment, gathering waste paper that can be exchanged for young trees from a local organization to plant more trees.

1. Recycling school paper

2. •Recycling paper conserves natural resources,
saves energy, reduces greenhouse gas
emissions, and keeps landfill space free for other
types of trash that can't be recycled.
•Recycling one ton of paper can save 17 trees,
7,000 gallons of water, 380 gallons of oil, 3.3
cubic yards of landfill space and 4,000 kilowatts
of energy-enough to power the average U.S.
home for six months and reduce greenhouse gas
emissions by one metric ton of carbon
equivalent.

3. •Pupils of Khmelnytskyi SZOSH 6 are aware of
benefits of paper recycling. We want to save
nature, that’s why we started an extensive
company at our school.

4. •Firstly, our pupils started gathering waste paper. Local
organization “Office Centre” challenged our pupils: they
suggested to exchange waste paper into young plants. The
more waste paper we gather, the more trees we’ll get.

5. •Also, our students decided to make these funny paper
eaters to gather waste paper in each classroom.
