I can't wait until I own land of my own, because I really want to plant a tree.

The newspaper business produces a lot of paper – not just issues of the Jordan Independent, but things like faxes, letters, print-outs, and more. We try to recycle as much as we can, though.

• Did you know that hard-plastic bottles of water actually leach toxins and require 1.5 million barrels of oil to make each year. Instead try buying larger jugs of water and fill a thermos made of lined aluminum, stainless steel or glass. • If every American recycled one-tenth of their newspapers, we'd save 25,000.000 trees a year. • A single quart of motor oil disposed of improperly, can contaminate up to 2,000.000 gallons of fresh water. • For every $10 spent buying things, 10% goes to packaging that gets thrown away. • Plant a tree. http://www.arborday.org/
