Solution
The paper should be saved because it takes around seventeen fully-grown trees to make one tonne. Trees, as we know, are important to maintaining a balance of nature. Therefore, to save trees and prevent the impact of their loss on living organisms, we need to save paper.
Ways by which paper can be saved:
- Collect used paper and recycle it.
- Use both sides of a paper for writing.
- Spread awareness about the importance of paper.
- Use paper intelligently.
