Some people do not think that recycling paper is important. Paper Falls apart easily and becomes part of the earth quickly after it
is buried. For this reason, some people do not think that throwing away paper is harmful. But what they forget is that trees are
used to make paper. In fact, every person uses about two trees' worth of paper each yearl Trees are so important to nature. They
help keep the air clean. Plus, many animals make their homes in trees. By recycling paper instead of throwing it away, we can
make the world a better place.
