27,000 trees around the world are cut every day to make paper! Paper is just trees that have been mashed up and their fibers have been separated. Fibers are tiny hooks that keep things together. Once they have the mixture of old trees, they join the fibers together to create paper! People need to cut down lots of trees to make a small amount of paper. That is why recycling paper products is important. People can just seperate the old paper fibers and then rejoin them together to make new paper!!
