Our planet, the EARTH is SICK

Slide 3

Slide 4

Think about it before see a short movie What makes the earth sick? What can we do for the earth?

Slide 5

Lets see a short movie Are you ready to save the Earth?

Slide 6

Start up : Todays objectives Identify the definition, recycling Recognize why recycling paper is important Classify how to make recycling paper

Slide 7

Slide 8

Definition: The act of processing used or abandoned materials for use in creating new products. Recycling

Slide 9

Every year, the U.S generates almost 230 million tons of trash. Less than one-quarter of the trash is recycled, and rest of them is buried in landfills. We could reuse more than 70 percent of the buried waste.

What materials can be recycled? PapersAluminum cans GlassPlasticStill But, there are bunch of unrecyclable items, too. If you want to know the items, click the button below.

Slide 11

Paper made from trees. It means every time we use paper, a tree must be cut down to meet our usage of paper. The more we use paper, more trees will be cut down. Tree and Paper It is required 1.2 million timber trees to product the using papers for a day for all over the world. 42% of the large-scale felling of tress is used to make papers every year. Almost three million hectares of forest turns into a vacant lot each year.

Slide 12

The amount of paper used It is countless how many papers we are using in our lives.. On average you use 580 pounds of paper each year! Recycling paper is easy and has a real benefit to the environment. Look around your home or office, that stack of paper three feet high you have been meaning to sort through is the equivalent of one tree that took 10-15 years to grow! For every ton of paper we recycle, we save 17 trees.

Slide 13

A trivia question The benefits of using recycled paper How much water does it take to manufacture a sheet of paper? (click the answer)

Slide 14

Are you sure? Try again Go back to the question

Slide 15

Yeah! You are right! See the detail answer

Slide 16

The answer is Hard to believe, but it takes 10 liters (2.6 gallons) of water cumulatively to produce a sheet of A4 paper.

Slide 17

The benefits to using recycled paper Use less energy Use less water Reduce air pollution Reduce water pollution Reduce acid rain Reduce garbage Recycling white paper creates 35% less water pollution and 74% less air pollution than making virgin paper because when producing recycled papers, the demand for virgin pulp are decreased, so it leads to reduce overall amount of air and water pollution.

Slide 18

We can save many things from 1 ton of wastepaper 17 trees 4100 kwh energy (enough to power the average home for six months) 7,000 gallons of water 60 pounds of air polluting effluents 3 cubic yards of landfill space taxpayer dollars that would have been used for the cost of waste disposal

Slide 23

Yeah! You are right!

Slide 24

Slide 25

We can make recycled paper from old newspaper, magazine, tissue, and ect. A blender An electric iron Two wooden frames Newspaper or other paper Glue Water A big tub What we need?

Slide 26

What We Do? Step 1: Make two small wooden frames the same size. Step 2: Staple wire screen to one frame. This is called the mold. I do not have wooden frames. Is there any way to make the paper instead of using wooden frames?

Slide 27

You can make a frame out of the coat hanger. 1)Stretch the hanger and bend it into a rectangle or square shape. 2)Take one leg of the panty hose and stretch it carefully over the hanger frame. (Make sure it is tight and flat.) Go back to the steps

Slide 28

Step3: Tear up newspaper into small pieces and soak it in a tub of warm water. Add vegetable peeling. Beet the mixture with a hand beater of fell a blender container half way with the mixture. Blend it until the mixture is smooth and creamy. Step4: Hold the mold, screen side up and place the empty frame on top. Step5: The frame allows the water to drain slowly and forms the edges of the wet-leaf. Dip both frames into the tub and scoop up some of the pulp. Step6: Raise the frames up slowly and let the water drain.

Slide 29

Step7: Remove the top frame Step8: Place a cloth or paper towel blotter gently on top of the screen side. Place a piece of cardboard on top of the cloth and gently turn the screen. Step9: Cloth and car-board over. Sponge the screen dry. Step10: Lift the frame gently. The wet-leaf (new paper) should stay on the cloth.

Slide 30

Step11: Cover the new paper with a clean Step12: Dry cloth and iron with medium heat. Are you complete all these steps?

Slide 31

Finally, you made it!!!! You save the EARTH I have prizes for those with own recycled paper. Please send me an e-mail with your picture here, yangyuoo@ou.edu Go back to the first page
