I saw the following five questions last weekend in an ad for the Newsprint & Newspaper Industry Environmental Action Group (http://www.nnieag.org.uk/current_adverts.html). The ad is designed to test the reader’s knowledge of recycled paper and how it is used in the newspaper industry:
1. Can paper be recycled forever? Yes No
2. Does recycled paper need new fibers? Yes No
3. How much recovered paper do newspapers contain? 100% 49% 80.6%
4. How is the raw material in your newspaper sourced? Economically Responsibly
5. What should you do with your newspapers? Burn them Recycle them
Scroll down for the answers…..
Have a good weekend
