Recycling timber

Recycling timber means using wood that has already been cut down and used for something else, like an old building or furniture, and turning it into something new.

Imagine you have a toy house made of wood. You play with it for a while, but then you get bored and decide you want to build a new toy. Instead of throwing away the wood from the old house, you can take it apart and use the pieces to build something else. That's recycling timber!

Recycling timber is important because it helps to save trees. Trees are important because they produce oxygen, which we need to breathe, and they also help to reduce the amount of carbon dioxide in the air. But if we keep cutting down trees to make new things, we'll end up with less and less trees.

So, by recycling timber, we can reuse wood that's already been cut down and we don't have to cut down as many trees. Plus, it saves energy and resources because it takes less energy to recycle wood than it does to start from scratch with new wood.

Overall, recycling timber is a great way to reduce waste, save resources, and help protect our environment!
