Questions for Discussion: Making Recycled Paper
- Discuss the question at the end of the video, "What other materials could you use to make recycled paper?" How might the paper made from these materials differ from that made from newspaper?
- How do you think a paper plant makes recycled paper so much smoother and thinner than the paper the cast members made?
- The process in the video used a lot of resources to recycle a small bit of paper. Do you think the amount of aluminum foil, cornstarch, water, and additional newspaper to absorb extra water is "worth" the new piece of paper? Why or why not?
- What else in addition to trees may be saved by recycling paper?
