Uses of Old Newspapers

Uses of old newspaper

INTRODUCTION

A newspaper is a periodical publication containing news of current events, informative articles, diverse features, editorials, and advertising. It usually is printed on relatively inexpensive, low-grade paper such as newsprint. By 2007, there were 6,580 daily newspapers in the world selling 395 million copies a day. The worldwide recession of 2008, combined with the rapid growth of web-based alternatives, caused a serious decline in advertising and circulation, as many papers closed or sharply retrenched operations. General-interest newspapers typically publish stories on local and national political events and personalities, crime, business, entertainment, society and sports. Most traditional papers also feature an editorial page containing editorials written by an editor and columns that express the personal opinions of writers. The newspaper is typically funded by paid subscriptions and advertising.

A wide variety of material has been published in newspapers, including editorial opinions, criticism, persuasion and op-eds; obituaries; entertainment features such as crosswords, sudoku and horoscopes; weather news and forecasts; advice, food and other columns; reviews of radio, movies, television, plays and restaurants; classified ads, display ads, radio and television listings, inserts from local merchants, editorial cartoons, gag cartoons and comic strips.

REUSE NEWSPAPER

If your old newspaper stack is about to take over your home, it is time to consider doing something with them. Don’t be so quick to toss that old newspaper in the recycling bin. Here are some ways you can reuse it.

 

1. Dampen and spread over window glass to protect it when you paint.
2. Wrap up glass and other breakables in thick sheets of newspaper before you pack them or to move.
3. old newspaper under a tablecloth at the kitchen or dining room table for extra padding to protect the wood.
4. Use these old newspapers as a protective covering when some painting is being done.

EXTRAORDINARY USES FOR OLD NEWSPAPERS

Do you have a subscription to your local newspaper? Many people do. In fact, people like you and me buy nearly fifty-five million newspapers every year. After we read the day's news, cut out a coupon or two, and solve the daily crossword puzzle, they become "old newspapers". So, then what can we do with them? Myself, I reuse, as well as, recycle them. Other than informing and entertaining us, a newspaper actually has many other worthwhile uses.

Twenty-five unique ways that you can use old newspapers:

Around the House:
1. Temporarily block the sun from streaming in windows.
2. Spread sheets of newspapers out and make clothing patterns
3. Dampen and spread over window glass to protect it when you paint.
4. Line and protect closet shelves and drawer bottoms
5. Place folded newspapers on the floor as a mat for wet shoes or muddy boots.
6. Make fire logs out of old newspapers. Roll sheets of newspapers up tightly in the shape of          

    a log. Tie them tight with string and use them in your fireplace or on a camp fire.
7. Do you still have some old 45 or other type of vinyl records? Store them safely by placing    

    old newspapers in between each one.
8. Ball up half sheets and let Kitty play with them. Cats love the crinkling noise.
9. Place balls of old newspapers inside leather shoes, purses, and in suitcases. They
    help leather items keep their shape. They also help deodorize them.

In the Garage:
1. Use old newspapers to polish windows to a streak-free shine. Also great for polishing     

      chrome.
2. Your auto have a fluid leak? Place sheets underneath your car when it's parked in the   

      garage to protect the floor.

3. If your auto's parked outside in the winter weather, lay old newspapers on the windshield   

      so you don't have to clean off ice and snow in the morning.

In the Garden:
1. Spread out sheets of newspaper between plants in your garden to keep weed growth down. Cheaper than black plastic!
2. Make mulch for your garden.
3. Bring green tomatoes in the house and wrap them in old newspapers. Place them in a dark, cool area, and they will ripen nicely.
4. Expecting a frost? Cover vulnerable garden plants with tents made out of newspapers.
5. Fold them over and kneel on them when you're working in the garden.
6. Transport fresh flowers in damp newspaper to keep them fresh longer.

Miscellaneous:
1. Buy some glue, long sticks, string, and let your kids make kites.
2. Celebrate New Year's Eve with confetti made from old newspapers.
3. Let the kids keep busy on a rainy day. Let them make paper chains, hand puppets, or  costumes.
5. Wrap up glass and other breakables in thick sheets of newspaper before you pack them to    move.
