Recycling’s next frontier: poop as paper
I found “Recycling’s next frontier: poop as paper”. In this article mentions that people can make paper from animal poop. Also this article mentions Australian company tries to produce Kangaroo poop to make good quality paper. According this article, Africa and Asia already use paper which made from elephants poop. The Thai center said they can make 115sheet of paper from 100pounds of dung and this center sells that elephant draw a picture on the paper. In this article also mentions that Manager Joanna Gari who suggests the paper has grate value and good effect for kids.

In my opinion, this project which makes paper from animals poop will help to decrease the global worming. We use a lot of papers that made from trees. Trees help to decrease the CO2 so if we protect the trees we can protect the earthen from worming up. If the poop papers are getting popularizing, we should use these paper because universities use a lot of papers. Today I receive 5 papers, 16 students in my class so we already use 80 papers a day. Also this school has 5 classes so may be we already use the over 100 pounds of elephant dung a day.
