A piece of paper is really made up of tiny fibers, unlike a piece of material. The fibers used
in paper, however, are plant fibers, and there are millions of them in one sheet. In addition to the

colors; resin may add weight and texture.

from trees. Millions are cut down, but new trees are planted in their place. Paper may be also made from
