Answer 2

D. recycling of cardboard cartons

Explanation:

Cardboard cartons are made from wood pulp. Millions of trees are cut every year to provide wood pulp to the paper industry. This has led to depletion of forest cover and deforestation. Unauthorized felling of trees for timber, trade and firewood leads to deforestation. Animals lose their habitat and many species become vulnerable to poaching and extinction. Deforestation increases the level of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, thus contributing to global warming. Deforestation can only be countered by afforestation and reforestation.

When we recycle cardboard cartons, we reduce the number of trees that would be cut to produce further paper. So we help conserve the trees indirectly.

Option D is the answer.
