Recycling of paper helps in the conservation of forest. Explain.

We all know paper comes from wood pulp. Recycling of paper directly contributes to the conservation of forest. If we recycle paper, the need for paper will reduce; therefore less number of trees will be cut. Extreme use of paper leads to deforestation.

Moreover, recycling paper needs 70% less energy than it takes to make new paper. It also saves used paper from occupying and piling up in landfills. Paper recycling is much more cost effective. It significantly reduces air and water pollution as it does not need to be disposed of, instead it is recycled.
