BEIJING, August 19—Shanghai will launch a pilot textbook recycling scheme in secondary schools from this fall semester to reduce textbook paper consumption, the Shanghai Education Commission revealed yesterday.

The first batch of textbooks to be recycled or reused will be middle school music material. Books on other subjects such as art, physical education and even major subjects like Chinese, math and English, will be included gradually.

The schools taking part in the program will have to purchase new textbooks about every five years and distribute them for students’ use during class sessions. But the books will have to be collected and kept on campus after class, rather than allowing students to take them back home, so that they could be passed on to the next batch of students.

Possessing one’s own brand-new textbooks has been a routine for local elementary school students for decades. The practice, however, leads to huge paper consumption, officials said.

For instance, there are nearly 2 million elementary school students in the city, with an estimated 4,000 tons of paper needed each year. Had these books been reused for five years, more than 80,000 trees could have been saved. 

In western countries, such as Australia and America began this practice years ago, which set a good example to other countries, esp. developing ones.  (Edited from Shanghai Daily)

Possible version:

Shanghai has decided to recycle textbooks to reduce the abuse of paper, which leads to a heated discussion. Shanghai is not the first or the last city that wants to recycle textbooks in schools.

 I quite agree to the suggestion that we should recycle these textbooks. For one thing, recycling textbooks can save a lot of natural resources, which is beneficial to our environmental protection and sustainable development. For another, senior students may have made plenty of useful notes on the pages. They are of great help to those textbook users, who may benefit and improve a lot by consulting the recycled textbooks. A lot of precious time and energy are saved.  

From my point of view, much emphasis should be laid on the environmental protection. It’s essential we have the awareness of recycling textbooks in good condition instead of throwing them away. Saving resources and protecting what can be recycled and reused is the responsibility all of us should shoulder.
