                 #Handmade Paper


                   The three R's (Reduce-Reuse-Recycle) help to cut down on the amount of waste we throw away.
                           Reduce means to cut down the trash we generate, for example, using less electricity.
                           Reuse means to use things that would have been thrown out, for example,
                          recycling paper.

                           Recycle means to turn something old and useless into something useful, for
                          example, using a paper bag over and over again.
                   Recycle and make your own paper:
                       1.  Tear the newspaper, scrap paper, or wrapping paper into very small bits.

                       2.  Add 2 cups of hot water to the shredded paper.
                       3.   Blend until the mixture becomes a fairly smooth pulp. If you want to add specks of colour, add
                          pieces of coloured paper.

                       4.  Pour the pulp into the flat pan.
                       5.   Slide the pan and move it around until it is evenly covered with pulp.
                       6.   Lift the pan carefully and drain the extra water. You can put it on a
                          towel to drain.
                       7.  Put a layer of newspaper over the pulp to absorb extra water.

                       8.  Roll a jar or rolling pin over the newspaper to squeeze out the rest
                   of the water.
                       9.  Take off the top newspaper.

                     10.    Let it dry. It will take at least 12 to 24 hours to dry depending on how thick and wet the paper is.
                           Yay! There is your own hand-made paper!














                      What is Sustainable Development?
                         The 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) adopted by all United Nations Member States in 2015
                     to end poverty, reduce inequality and build more peaceful, prosperous societies by 2030 to empower the
                     people globally.
                         Practising sustainability empowers children to explore values and develop respect towards nature, laying
                     the foundation for an environmentally responsible adulthood in the near future.
