QUESTIONS:

Where do my recycled news papers end up? -Mary, NC

What are some ways we can help conserve water?-Jessica NC

Mary, good question. The answer is simple, you have recycled newspaper all over your house. Recycled newspaper (and other variations) are processed into materials such as paper grocery bags, notebook paper, magazines, envelopes, boxes, cartons and new newspaper. When the recycled paper reaches the paper mill, it is thrown into a big vat of water to remove all the inks. Then it soaks in water and detergent and is later run through mesh plates to flatten. The leftover pulp is pressed and made into paper. When it dries, it is shipped off to stores and other factories all around the country. Now the saying making coupons into products is true (coupons are paper after all).

Jessica there are many easy ways to save water. Now that North Carolina is in a drought,(however you spell it) it is extra superduper important. One way is to stop water when you don't need it. For example, put shampoo in you hair, let it sit then turn on the water. If that doesn't seem convenient then use two in one hair stuff, it may sound weird but every drop counts. Another way is to turn of the faucet while brushing your teeth and that kind of stuff. Also, use the water you may use to do things like wash strawberries to water plants just by placing a bowl or something under the strainer. Though this may sound like I am just trying to think of any green things to think of anything green but composts really help as well. So do every thing you can except use your bath water for spaghetti.
