You think that paper is
non-living
but was once part of a living thing.
You are correct!
Paper is made from the woody parts of trees. The
trees are cut down, cut into pieces and then shaved. The shavings are added to
water and this is made into a pulp. The paper pulp is then pressed into paper
and dried. 'Natural' paper is not white. Chemicals are added to the pulp to
bleach the paper. Much of the paper we use is recycled. This means it is made
into a pulp again to produce usable paper.
