paper, however, are plant fibers(2), and there are millions of them in one sheet. In addition to the
plant fiber, dyes and additives such as resin may be used. Dyes can make the paper different colors;
resin may add weight and texture.

from trees(3). Millions are cut down, but new trees are planted in their place. Paper may be also made
from things like old rags or pieces of cloth. Wastepaper, paper that has been made and used, can be
turned into recycled paper. This recycling process saves forest, energy and reduces air and water
pollution.
