Recycling is a collection, processing, and reuse of materials that would otherwise be thrown away. Materials ranging from precious metals to broken glass, from old newspapers to plastic spoons, can be recycled. The recycling process reclaims the original material and uses it in new products.

In general, using recycled materials to make new products costs less and requires less energy than using new materials. Recycling can also reduce pollution, either by reducing the demand for high-pollution alternatives or by minimizing the amount of pollution produced during the manufacturing process.

Paper products that can be recycled include cardboard containers, wrapping paper, and office paper. The most commonly recycled paper product is newsprint. In newspaper recycling, old newspapers are collected and searched for contaminants such as plastic bags and aluminum foil. The paper goes to a processing plant where it is mixed with hot water and turned into pulp in a machine that works much like a big kitchen blender. The pulp is screened and filtered to remove smaller contaminants. The pulp then goes to a large vat where the ink separates from the paper fibers and fl oats to the surface. The ink is skimmed off, dried and reused as ink or burned as boiler fuel. The cleaned pulp is mixed with new wood fibers to be made into paper again.

Experts estimate the average office worker generates about 5 kg of wastepaper per month. Every ton of paper that is recycled saves about 1.4 cu m (about 50 cu ft) of landfill space. One ton of recycled paper saves 17 pulpwood trees (trees used to produce paper).

The following things can be recycled, EXCEPT….

• Precious metals

• Broken glass

• Old newspapers

• Plastic spoons

• Fresh vegetables and fruits

What is the third step of recycling paper products?

• Collect and search for contaminants such as plastic bags and aluminium foil

• Mix the paper with hot water in a blender which turns it into pulp

• Screen and filter the pulp to remove smaller contaminants

• Put the pulp to a large vat to separate the ink from the paper fibres

• Mix the pulp with new wood fibres to be made into paper again

We can make use of the ink after being separated from the paper fibres by doing the followings, EXCEPT….

• Skim it off

• Dry it

• Reuse as ink

• Burn as boiler fuel

• Mix it with the pulp

Faster planes and cheaper flights

Faster planes and cheaper flights are making it easier than ever before for people to travel. In the most 'developed' societies, visiting exotic places is a sought-after status symbol. The tourism industries of both developed and developing countries have recognised this fact and are learning to take advantage of it.

There are, however, some problems associated with this new industry. Firstly, there is the increasing crime rate. Some local's tourists as an easy prey because, not only are they in unfamiliar territory and therefore less able to take care of themselves, but also they carry visible items of wealth, such as cameras and jewelery which can be disposed of quickly for profit.

Another major problem is health. With greater mobility comes greater danger of spreading contagious diseases around the world. One carrier returning home could easily start an epidemic before their illness was diagnosed. Moreover, the emergence of many diseases which resist antibiotics is causing scientists to be increasingly concerned about this issue.

Also to be considered is the natural environment, which can be seriously threatened by too many visitors. Australia's Great Barrier Reef, for example, is in danger of being destroyed by tourists and there are plans to restrict visitors to some of the more delicate coral cays.

These are just three of the reasons why any country should be wary of committing itself to an extensive tourism development program.

Why does the natural environment become one of the serious problem associated with the faster planes ail cheaper flight? Because ....

• it easily started an epidemic before their illness was diagnosed

• it can be destroyed by too many visitors

• the health problem will increase

• they carry visible items of wealth

• it can increase crime rate

Why is the crime rate increasing due to the new industry?

• Some tourists carry visible items of wealth.

• The tourists are spreading contagious diseases.

• The government is planning to restrict visitors to some coral cays.

• The new industry makes the number of unemployment increase.

• The tourists come by plane.
