"Recycling one ton of paper saves 17 trees, 7,000 gallons of water, 3 cubic yards of landfill space, 2 barrels of oil, and 4,100 kilowatt hours of electricity - enough energy to power up the average American home for six months."

The Environmental Protection Agency

While I am browsing the internet, I happened to go through the article containing this line from "Environmental Protection Agency". It really struck me realizing the worth of recycling paper. Just imagine one ton of paper can already save 17 trees. As I tried to visualize one ton of paper could be more or less, 1 six-wheeler dump truck of it, and it could already conserve 17 trees. And take note, we cannot produce 17 trees in just a blink of an eye. right?

There are many benefits that we can get out of recycling paper in particular and it would be a long and strenuous discussion here if I will explain it one by one in this blog (lol), where in fact my purpose of writing this post today is how my realization in the importance of recycling brought me into creating this one of-a-kind project.

Hello! Everyone! @melit79 is at your service once again. How is everyone today? I hope all of us here are in good health. Enjoying the opportunity given by our Almighty father to have good health makes us do and perform our household chores every day, and plan ahead our next-days-undertaking.

The project that I am going to share to you today is an organizer that helps me access easily my personal teaching paraphernalia during my online classes. I called this "Paper Organizer". It is just very easy to follow. All you need to do is look for a gloss coated paper that is not in use like brochures, flyers, gift wrap and even used bond paper cover.

Materials Needed:
Glossy or non-glossy disposable paper can be used
cable tie
scissors
adhesives
scotch tape

Procedure:
1.Cut the paper into pieces with a measurement of4x5 inches.

2.Fold it until you can produce a strip with a measurement of 3/8 x 5 inches.

3.Roll the strip as many as you can produce.

4.Attach the rolled paper together using the nylon cable tie. Start making the bottom part of the organizer as seen in the picture below.

5.After making the bottom part. Start building the side of the organizer.


6.Take note, when you are using an ordinary paper and not the glossing one, you need to apply natural-colored varnish to make it appear glossy. And since I am already using glossing paper there is no need to use natural-colored varnish. When you apply varnish into the already glossy paper it will be hard to dry up.

This is my final output. I use this organizer for a small- pieces of visual aids that I use during my class. I use this paper organizer so I can save money, as it is often cheaper to recycle than buying an organizer in the market.

With the many benefits of recycling paper, it is really important that all of us should be doing our part to reduce our paper waste. By choosing to recycle paper, we're taking a small but important step towards a more secure and eco-friendly future.


Guyz, let us help recycle the waste we produce in our daily activities, and help protect the environment and ensure a sustainable future for ourselves and for the future generations.

That's all for today, guys! Thank you for taking the time to read my blog. I hope to see you again in my next post.
