How much paper can be made from a tree?

submitted by St Joseph Mater Boni Consilii School Paola : Keyne Anne Mascari  for 11-14
campaign: YRE Entry
dissemination(s): school magazine
filed under Articles

We need to know that for us to create paper, we are bound to use a lot of trees: • 1 ton of uncoated virgin (non-recycled) printing and office paper uses 24 trees. • 1 ton of 100% virgin (non-recycled) newsprint uses 12 trees. • A “pallet” of copier paper contains 40 cartons and weighs 1 ton. • 1 carton (10 reams) of 100% virgin copier paper uses 6 trees. • 1 tree makes 16.67 reams of copy paper or 8,333.3 sheets. • 1 ream (500 sheets) uses 6% of a tree. • 1 ton of coated, higher-end virgin magazine paper uses a little more than 15 trees. • 1 ton of coated, lower-end virgin magazine paper (used for news magazines and most catalogues) uses nearly 8 trees.

A cleaner environment

submitted by St Joseph Mater Boni Consilii School Paola : Kezia Cassar  for 11-14
campaign: YRE Entry
dissemination(s): school magazine
filed under Articles

It is definitely important to keep the environment clean since our environment is a place where humans, as well as plants and animals, live. It is necessary to keep our planet Earth clean because we need to get fresh air, like in terms of strong trees. Pollution can be reduced in terms of walking instead of using the proper car, the use of electric cars, car pooling, etc. An unclean environment leads to a bad condition of a society, arrival of diseases and much more.
