Rainforest: Kids who use less paper help save the rainforest.

Trees are cut down to make paper.

Use Less Paper to Help
Save the Rainforest

Paper is made from the pulp of trees. If use less paper, fewer trees will be used to make paper.

Using less paper is easy.

1. Use the smallest size paper you need. If you are doing your math homework, you need a standard size page. If you are writing a note, a very small piece of paper will do. Cut the paper smaller.

2. Use both sides of the paper when you can.

3. Recycle paper.

If your family already recycles, then it will be easy for you to recycle paper.

If your family does not recycle, ask them to consider a recycling program.

If your family does not want to recycle, you can do it alone. Save paper in a box in your room. Ask your teacher or another adult where to recycle your paper.

Pretend you are a kid who lives in your hometown. How else can you help save trees in the rainforest?
