Paper is named for papyrus, a reed like plant used by ancient Egyptians as writing material more

A piece of paper is really made up of tiny fibers, unlike a piece of material. The fibers used in
paper, however, are plant fibers, and there are millions of them in one sheet. In addition to the plant
fiber, dyes and additives such as resin may be used. Dyes can make the paper different colors; resin
may add weight and texture.

from trees. Millions are cut down, but new trees are planted in their place. Paper may be also made
from things like old rags or pieces of cloth. Wastepaper, paper that has been made and used, can be

had been taken or broken; 21% said someone had threatened to hurt them. According to the results,
two-thirds of the students said they had been bullied in more than one way over the previous month.

at least once during the school year because of fear of being bullied. 25% said they had taken other

The bee, like the ant. is a social insect. Bees live in groups in a hive, and every bee does certain work
that helps the other members of the group. In a beehive there are three kinds of bees: the queen bee, the
drones, and the workers. The worker bees go from flower to flower collecting nectar, or juice, which is
composed mostly of sugar mixed with water. Bees draw this nectar into the honey sacks of their
bodies, and enzymes in their bodies turn the nectar into honey. This newly made honey flows slowly
from the underside of the bees and is stored in cells in the hive to be used as food during the winter
months. Some people are in the honey business and keep hundreds of hives. Beekeepers remove honey
from the hives and pack it in bottles or jars. Honey usually appears as a clear golden-colored liquid, but
this depends on the kind of flower from which the bees have taken the nectar.

Plastic is a material we use every day. The first plastics were made more than 100 years ago from parts
of plants. Plastics are now made from oil, coal and natural gas. We are using up these things so fast
that the Earth's supplies may run out. Because of this, scientists are investigating new ideas for making
plastics from plants such as sweet potato, bamboo and flax.
Things made from plastic can be useful for people but bad for the planet. Some plastics can last for a
long time without wearing out, and can be difficult to get rid of when they are not needed. They can
remain in rubbish dumps for hundreds of years.
Recycling is a good way to solve the problems of unwanted plastics. Recycled waste materials can be
used again to make new products. This can be difficult as different types of plastic need to be recycled
in different ways. Some kinds of plastics can be melted down and used to make new things such as
bags and bottles. Others can be made into fibres for clothing.
Another way to protect the environment is to use canvas bags for shopping instead of plastic ones. A
lot of plastic objects can also be reused. Plastic bottles can be refilled many times, rather than thrown
away once they are empty. Unwanted plastic goods such as CDs and toys can be sold or given away to
charity shops.
