How much paper do you use every year? Perhaps you can't answer that question quickly.Some countries use as much as 50 kilograms of paper for each person in a year.Countries like the United States, England and Sweden use more paper than other countries.
Paper is made from the wood of trees.So the forest countries like Canada, Sweden, Norway, Finland and the United states have become the most important countries in papermaking.Finland makes the best paper in the world.
Today paper-making machines are very big, and they make paper very fast.Watch them run! The biggest machines can make a piece of paper 400 meters long and six meters wide in one minute.
When we think of paper, we think of newspaper, books, letters, and writing paper.But there are many other uses.Only half of the paper that is made is used for books and newspaper.For example, paper keeps you warm.In Finland's cold winters, the farmers wear paper boots in the snow.Nothing is warmer than paper boots.
