Hey hii guys..I have read Dash's articles on the"small steps to going green"..one of the info she stated out for ideal green life is recycle everything especially PAPERS!
I just want to added info on that particular subject..how are we gonna recycle the papers..this is something that we learnt for subject "Kemahiran Hidup" last time when we are in the primary school. This might be a very simple one and Dr. mams sure not gonna give me a good grades for this but trust me.. none of us still practicing this since we can send them (the papers) to the recycle centers. Hee sorry Dr.mams...I think if i could try this first, then i'll considered everyone could follow my baby steps..so these are what you needs:
1)A Blender or wire whisk
2)Papers of course!
3) Sieve
4)Water
5) Tupperware
Follow these steps..
1) Tear the papers into tiny pieces and soak them in a tupperware of hot water for about 30 minutes. Put a handful of the soaked paper into the blender and mix until mush. Or if using a whisk, beat the mixture until it is a creamy pulp.
2) Put the blended papers in water and started to sieve. You can find a different tool for sieving no matter its round or rectangular. In the sieving process, you can put the sieve into the mixture of blended papers and try to get a thin layer by lifting the sieve up carefully. before that, it is better t ensure that the mixture is not too fluid or else it would be difficult to get layer.
3) After a thin layer has been formed on top of the sieve upside down and put it on some newspapers. the use a cloth to press so that the ayer will go onto the newspaper completely. next, remove the sieve and let the newspaper to dry under the sun or fan. and start from the sieving process and repeat the same steps once more until the mixture is finish.
Simple one..hope you guys can try it ya!
SAVE TREES BY MAKING YOUR OWN RECYCLED PAPER
Americans use 50 million tons of paper per year, consuming over 850 million trees to produce that paper. Imagine if we increase our demand for recycled paper. This would directly increase the amount of trees grown and harvested for paper making purposes.
ReplyDeleteI would have to admit Im guilty of sending many of my mom's blenders off to an early burial in our local landfills as a young child. Thankfully my parents gracefully embraced my unusual creativity.
I read an article on the benefits of recycled paper. It states that "recycled paper requires less energy, fewer chemicals, less water to
manufacture, reduces greenhouse gas emissions, and takes material out of the waste stream".
Another item that goes hand in hand with the use of papers is ink catridges. I read on a green website 'EcoGreenOffice'; they supply eco friendly materials for office use.
They have a Green Printer Cartridge program, according to them, by using a 'green' printer catridge will save you 10-20% and also have eco-benefits that can be quantified as well.
The article's title caught my attention although the contents were a little blend. "My boss is cheap!", gives me the idea that office staff are into greener options but the office management are more worried about the GREEN notes in their office accounts.Such is life, MONEY makes the world go round! :p

It is amazing.I wish every thing in this world had a easy recycle which human could help it.Although i think if we really be prolific we could innovate new methods for recycling materials.Nowadays learing sparate of trash is so lucrative action for environment.
ReplyDeleteThis kind of habits must study at schools where each child will be man or woman in the future,and they will cosume from nature.Understanding,how using this gift and protection of that must be their aim.
