My action Proposal
TopicReusing papers to make frames
K - about recycling paper Many people use papers. Most people cutdown trees for their own needs. Some villages recycle papers. Trees absorb CO2 and release oxygen. If there is no more trees there will be more CO2 .
Trees reduce pollution. Trees are getting less just for papers People waste paper when they still can use it. Some Villagers use paper as their important
property. Paper can be used twice or more.
PurposeMy puprose of doing this action are: To reduce the amount of wasted paper To reduce the papers rubbish To save the environment

MY INQUIRY QUESTIONS (THINKING HATS)
White Hat(fact): What will happen when more paper are wasted and there are more trees chopped to make paper?

papers?Blue hat(the thinking): Can the small thing we do such as
reusing paper, planting trees etc help the environment? why?
PROBLEMThere are a lot of used papers at my home. Newspapers, magazines, used wrapping papers, old books and many more. They are all ready to be thrown away.
Those papers are made from trees, so, wasting them means chopping more trees down.
BACKGROUND KNOWLEDGE ABOUT THE CHOSEN TOPIC
The benefit of recycling paper is helping the enviorment.
Recycling paper can reduce the number of trees chopped down.
Recycling paper and cardboard can save around 30-70% energy needed to make paper from old trees to grow new ones.
When paper products are given or sent to an area that contains buried waste or material, Methane is released.
Methane is harmful to our enviorment.
In the same year mostly people only recycled 63 percent (or nearly 45 million tons) of all the paper that Americans used.
We can save the enviorment by reusing
The kids will feel harmed and they do not have fresh air to breath.
By making Decorations, Recycling paper when printing we can use the back side of the paper if there is more pages and more.
We can help the environment by reusing the paper so not much trees are chopped.
WAYS TO COUNTERACT PROBLEM
Reusing paper to make decorations likeframes is one way to counteract the airpollution problem by making fewer treeschopped because reusing paper canincrease the absorbing of more CO2
whichmeans less air pollution and more oxygenfor us.
CAUSESPeople chop down trees to makepapers and paperboard but wastingPaper after 1 time use.
Effect/ImpactsIf we don’t reuse paper more trees will bechopped and there will be air pollutionand if we keep wasting papers more andmore tress are chop and more air pollution grows
into global warming.
Here are the ways to make frames!
1. First collect cardboard and papers or magazine and newspaper that being thrown away.
2. Next prepare the things you need like decorations stuff, scissors, glue and others.
3. Next you can cut out a hole like a square or rectangle and you can cut out the papers or magazine and stick it or you can cut out a cardboard and decorate it and stick the picture.
4. And make sure if you do the first one you don’t glue all of the cardboard side leave one side not stick.
