Recycle what you read. There are lots of ways to
save trees ana reduce trash: take your used
books to the library ... magazines and comic
books to a hospital ... put newspapers in your
recycling bin. Small things to do, you think? If
each of us recycled just one newspaper a week,
we could save 25 billion trees every year.
