How Paper .is made

There was a lot of paper being wasted in Room 20, so our homework was to find out how paper is made.  Well, Alice found out.  Her research showed that a lot of chemicals, including bleach,

are used.  We wondered what happens to all those chemicals when they get rid of all the fluid during the paper making process.  We feel that in some countries those chemicals may be disposed of carefully but maybe not in all countries.  It made us think about the pollution that is created when making all the things we have and often just throw away, like our paper.  Apart from the fact that we were just wasting a tree, we have also decided that if we didn't use so much paper then there would be less chemicals going into our ecosystem.
