In the 13th century, the famous Indian
traveller, Marco Polo, travelled a long way to
China.
He
saw many
wonderful
things.
One
of
the
things
he
discovered
was
that
Chinese
used
paper
money.
In
western countries,
people
did
not
use
paper
money
until
the
15th
century.
However,
people in China
began to use paper money in the 7th century.
A Chinese man called Cai
Lun invented paper almost 2,000 years ago. He made
it from wood.
He took the wood from
trees and made it into paper. He then put these
pieces of paper together
and made them
into a book.
Now paper
still comes from trees. We use a lot of paper
every day. If we keep on wasting so
much paper, there will not be any trees
left on the earth. If there are no trees, there
will be no paper.
Every day, people
throw away about 2,800 tons of paper in our city.
It takes 17 trees to make one
ton
of paper. This
means
that
we
are
cutting nearly
48,000
trees
every
day.
Since
it
takes
more
than 10 years for a
tree to grow, we must start using less paper now.
If we don
’
t, we will not
have
enough time to grow more trees to
take the place of those we use for paper.
So how can we save
paper? We can use both sides of every piece of
paper, especially when we
are making
notes.
We
can
also
use
cotton
handkerchiefs(
手帕
)
and
paper
ones.
When
we
go
shopping, we can use fewer paper bags.
If the shop assistant does give us a paper bag, we
can save
it and
refuse(
拒绝
)it later. Everyone
can help to save paper. If we all think carefully,
we can help
protect trees. But we
should do it now, before it is too late.
