Question

Recycling 1 ton of paper saves

• A. 7000 gallons of water
• B. 17 trees
• C. Both A and B
• D. none of the above

Answer 1

Answer: (C)

Both A and B

During the production of paper from the wood pulp, about 7000 gallons of water is used. If the paper is recycled, then this large amount of water can be saved. Studies have proven that one ton of paper is equivalent to seventeen fully grown trees. The paper is made from wood pulp. The trees are cut down for making paper. By saving and recycling of the paper, we can help to prevent deforestation.

Thus, the correct answer is option C.
