Reuse, Reduce and Recycle

I know what you are thinking :

" Uhhg this again!" " How many times am I going to hear the same thing over and over again. Yeah, I know that cause that's what I might think. But that newspaper pile next to you could do a lot of things check these facts out.".

 To produce each week's Sunday newspapers, 500,000 trees
must be cut down.
 Recycling a single run of the Sunday New York Times
would save 75,000 trees.
 If all our newspaper was recycled, we could save about
250,000,000 trees each year!
 If every Canadian recycled just one-tenth of their
newspapers, we would save about 25,000,000 trees a year.
 If you had a 15-year-old tree and made it into paper
grocery bags, you'd get about 700 of them. A busy
supermarket could use all of them in under an hour! This
means in one year, one supermarket can go through over 6
million paper bags! Imagine how many supermarkets there are
just in the Canada!!!
 The average Canadian uses seven trees a year in paper,
wood, and other products made from trees. This amounts to
about 2,000,000,000 trees per year!
 The amount of wood and paper we throw away each year is
enough to heat 50,000,000 homes for 20 years.
 Approximately 1 billion trees worth of paper are thrown
away every year in the U.S.
 Canadians use 85,000,000 tons of paper a year; about 680
pounds per person.
 The average household throws away 13,000 separate pieces
of paper each year. Most is packaging and junk mail.
 In 1993, U.S. paper recovery saved more than 90,000,000
cubic yards of landfill space.
 Each ton (2000 pounds) of recycled paper can save 17
trees, 380 gallons of oil, three cubic yards of landfill
space, 4000 kilowatts of energy, and 7000 gallons of water.
This represents a 64% energy savings, a 58% water savings,
and 60 pounds less of air pollution!
 The 17 trees saved (above) can absorb a total of 250
pounds of carbon dioxide from the air each year. Burning
that same ton of paper would create 1500 pounds of
carbon dioxide.
 The construction costs of a paper mill designed to use
waste paper is 50 to 80% less than the cost of a mill using new pulp.


Thank you for reading these facts now don't scroll down just go up and share this with the people next to you that you know has some time.

Middle school!!!!

Hey guys! Not gonna write the date just here to say that

"Middle school has now started!"

So I have a question for you, since most of you probably got a new job or joined a new class/group or even moved in the past few years I want you to think back and remember that first moment.


Now go ahead and tell me what colour you felt like at that moment. Maybe you felt green for happy, maybe you had another color that means happy you might feel gray, a certain shade or any colour, shade anything that you felt at that moment and why?

Now tell me what shape you felt like at that moment. Maybe like a free triangle maybe a grumpy circle maybe you think the other way around, just think of a shape and write in the comment section below why you felt that.

Now do the colour and shape thing for now.


Anyway completely changing topic here and going back to middle school. Nah, the only fun things are new friends, bigger playground, writing with pen and being given more freedom and choice. You choose when you gotta go. You don't ask the teacher, no sir! You just go.


By the way here are random facts I know I will number them by using their randomness, uselessness and silliness.
