I am doing a report for school that is going to average about 160 pages. I need to do a draft first to have people look over, then I need to pring a final copy. I was just wondering if I recycle the paper from the draft if it is the same as if I didn't use it in the first place, because I hate to waste all that paper! Thank you!
Amarete answered Friday December 7 2007, 8:55 pm: Recycling paper takes energy because it has to be processed for reuse. It also has to be transported to a recycling center before it can be processed. Both of those take energy and create waste. So recycling isn't the same as never using the paper in the first place. Still, if you have no choice but to print the report twice, you should recycle it anyway. It doesn't make it like you never used it in the first place, but it does help.
