President of the society, Farouq Hazmieh,
stressed the importance of enhancing collective efforts between all entities
and civil society institutions to improve individual behavior to be more
conscientious of the
environment, the Jordan News Agency, Petra, reported.
The campaign, he said, is committed
to following scheduled waste-removal times to reduce the cost of collecting it
while lengthening the life of the landfill.
He added that the campaign
contributes to preserving the environment from pollution and reducing energy
use. It does so, he said, by reducing the use of raw materials in the paper
industry.
Hazmieh called on people to bring
their no-longer-in-use textbooks, notebooks, and papers to the nearest school
or mosque to be collected. They will then be sent to paper and cardboard
factories located in
Al-Hassan Industrial City to be recycled and made to fresh
paper.
Studies related to the
paper industry confirmed that the recycling of a tonne of paper saves at least 17
trees.
