How to recycle newspapers.

When it comes to recycling paper, my favourite thing to do is re-purposing projects that are fun, easy and practical, which is not bad for saving trees that provide us with oxygen and the general biodiversity.  When re-purposing newspapers it is cost effective and most  Do it yourself projects do not involve operating heavy machinery as compared to other materials such s glass. 

One can reuse paper by using it as a cover for books, gift wraps etc. Using newspapers as a wrap gives the covered items a unique and modern look.

Data shredders, a UK based organisation states that " Plastic recycling is important because it is having a hugely negative effect on our environment.  Our Recycling our waste products is not only better for the environment, but it means that there is less rubbish buried on landfill sites".  And while that clearly states the importance of recycling plastic, it also highlights the dangers of plastics on the environment.
