4A) Read the following passage & do the activities: 10mrks

The next time you take printouts unnecessarily or you throw a paper into the bin, think for a

minute as to how many trees have been felled to manufacture something you use so often

every day.

Can you take out some time from your everyday routine and devote it to starting a simple

recycling program at your school or your neighbourhood? Not only would you save our

planet from the torture of felling greenery, but you would also reduce generation and

dumping of waste into the environment.

Using recycled paper conserves natural resources. As our worldwide population grows, the

strain on these resources becomes even greater. You can drastically reduce the number of

trees cut down for manufacturing paper. In addition to saving landfill space, you cut down

on your expenses of trash-disposal. There is a reduction in air pollution caused due to

incineration. Making paper from discards instead of trees not only saves forests, but it also

reduces energy use by up to three quarters and requires less than half as much water. Items

that are made of paper and maybe recycled are called the loose paper, a few examples are

paper bags, envelopes, cardboard, wrapping paper, soft-cover books, magazines,

newspapers, and cardboard egg-trays.

A1) Name the products that can be obtained from recycled paper.

A2) What do we need to think before we take printouts unnecessarily?

A3) Antonym of ‘increase’ from the passage.
