Scrap Paper Boxes📥

We all know that paper comes from trees; that there is way to much deforestation going about in the world right now. Paper is used in everyday life, especially in countries like the UK. We have loads of it in schools and offices. And even though we do lots more stuff by computer now, there are still loads of paper all around.                                                                                                                        

In my primary school, every single classroom has a scrap paper tray where we would put unused - or even used - paper (like worksheets, letters etc) to be drawn on or take notes and stuff. Usually, it would be full to the brim with paper because of all the stuff we would add. I'm pretty sure lots of other schools did that too.

What I'm saying is that we should start doing it at home too. At home, we probably don't use as much paper as in school or work, but if your children or siblings (or you) are arty then you probably have a lot of card or paper around where you cut off little bits and pieces from - I certainly do😀. So, with all those pieces of paper (that you can actually do something on- not like a 2 by 2 cm square) you can put in a drawer or a box so you can re-use them. Yes, I do sometimes find it very annoying when I find the perfect colour card and there is a square taken off the corner but you know, I'll live.

In addition, I don't mean buying a new snazzy box to put all the scrap paper in, it could literally be an old cardboard box that you got your new school shoes in📦! I also just wanted to say, I bought a pack of 3 notebooks that were made out of recycled paper, so you could keep an eye out for those if you're looking for new notebooks.

Thank you for reading this post and I hope you'll all re-use bits of paper to make things, take notes on or write shopping lists on (as my mum does)! See you next week!
