Germans recycle about 80% of all their paper, meanwhile the recycling of paper is nearly non-existent in Romania.<\/p>\n<p>But why go though all the work of carefully selecting the paper and recycling it to new paper? Unlike plastic or metal products, paper is made out of wood which can easily be regrown.<\/p>\n<p>One big reason would be in order to save water. The production of 40g new paper needs 2,8 L of water, compared to 0,2 L for recycling paper. It also becomes a lot more polluted in the process of producing new paper, than in the one for recycled paper. If you are interested in finding out why saving water is so important for the environment, read Robert&#8217;s article about water, coming up in the next days.<\/p>\n<p>Another point is, that the\u00a0chemicals used in order to make paper out of wood are often very toxic and bad for the environment, unlike the ones used for the recycling process. This is especially true for the bleaching of newly made paper, which is either not done with recycling paper or done with non-toxic chemicals.<\/p>\n<p>The recycling process for paper also needs 1\/3 of the energy of producing newly made paper.<\/p>\n<p>It also needs wood. While trees can be regrown, it takes years for them to do so and if we use up to much wood to regrow, the amount of forests in a country decrease and decrease, as is currently the case in Romania.<\/p>\n<p>If\u00a0you want to help the environment, try to sort paper and put it into the blue recycling bin, buy recycling paper instead of normal one and use both sides of paper.<\/p>\n<p>And here is a little guide for recycling paper yourself:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Put small pieces of paper [tear them apart by hand] into a bucket of water and leave it alone for three days<\/li>\n<li>Nail a fly screen onto a wooden frame (about the size of a piece of paper)<\/li>\n<li>Blend the water-paper-mix with a blender. If the mass is to solid, add warm water.<\/li>\n<li>Put the paper-mix into a big container, add water (About a quater of the paper mass). Take the frame from step 2 and pull it slowly though the water, till their is a small layer of paper on it.z<\/li>\n<li>Tear the layer slowly from the frame and leave it to dry<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<hr \/>\n<p>\/RO\/<\/p>\n<p>Servus!<\/p>\n<p>Venind din Germania sunt obi\u0219nuit\u0103 s\u0103 reciclez, mai ales h\u00e2rtie. Nem\u021bii recicleaz\u0103 \u00een jur de 80% din h\u00e2rtie, \u00een timp ce reciclarea h\u00e2rtiei \u00een Rom\u00e2nia e aproape inexistent\u0103.<\/p>\n<p>Dar de ce s\u0103 trecem prin acest proces de selectare a h\u00e2rtiei \u0219i reciclare? Spre deosebire de plastic \u0219i metal, h\u00e2rtia e f\u0103cut\u0103 din lemn, care poate fi \u00eenlocuit prin plantare.<\/p>\n<p>Un motiv important pentru a recicla este pentru a economisi ap\u0103. Pentru a produce 40gr de h\u00e2rtie nou\u0103 e nevoie de 2.8L ap\u0103, \u00een timp ce pentru aceea\u0219i cantitate prin reciclare e nevoie de 0.2L. De asemenea apa devine mai poluat\u0103 la finalul acestui proces, dec\u00e2t cea folosit\u0103 la reciclare. Dac\u0103 vre\u021bi s\u0103 afla\u021bi mai multe despre importan\u021ba apei pentru mediu, citi\u021bi articolul lui Robert (urmeaz\u0103 \u00een urm\u0103toarele zile, fi\u021bi pe faza).<\/p>\n<p>Un alt motiv ar fi chimicalele folosite pentru a crea h\u00e2rtie, care sunt adesea toxice \u0219i nocive pentru mediu, spre deoasebire de cele pentru reciclare. Asta mai ales din cauza \u00een\u0103lbitorilor folosi\u021bi pentru h\u00e2rtie, care nu sunt folosi\u021bi la h\u00e2rtia reciclat\u0103, ori sunt folosi\u021bi unii non-toxici.<\/p>\n<p>\u00cen plus, procesul de reciclare a h\u00e2rtiei are nevoie de doar o treime din energia folosit\u0103 pentru h\u00e2rtia nou\u0103. Apoi mai are nevoie de lemn. Chiar dac\u0103 p\u0103durile pot ref\u0103cute, dureaz\u0103 ani de zile pentru acest lucru, iar dac\u0103 folosim p\u0103durile prea mult, zonele \u00eemp\u0103durite scad vizibil, cum e cazul Rom\u00e2niei.<\/p>\n<p>Dac\u0103 vrei s\u0103 aju\u021bi mediul, \u00eencearc\u0103 s\u0103 sortezi h\u00e2rtia \u0219i pune-o \u00een containerul albastru, cump\u0103r\u0103 h\u00e2rtie reciclat\u0103 \u00een loc de cea obi\u0219nuit\u0103 \u0219i mai ales folose\u0219te ambele p\u0103r\u021bi ale h\u00e2rtiei.<\/p>\n<p>Aici ave\u021bi un mic ghid de reciclare a h\u00e2rtiei:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Pune buc\u0103\u021bele de h\u00e2rtie (rupte cu m\u00e2na) \u00eentr-o g\u0103leat\u0103 cu ap\u0103 \u0219i las\u0103-le trei zile.<\/li>\n<li>Prinde o p\u00e2nz\u0103 de \u021b\u00e2n\u021bari pe o ram\u0103 de lemn (de m\u0103rimea h\u00e2rtiei pe care vei s\u0103 o produci)<\/li>\n<li>Amestec\u0103 compozi\u021bia de h\u00e2rtie cu ap\u0103 cu un blender.
