Final answer:
d. saves fluid for printing on paper
Recycling paper does not save fluid for printing on paper, but it does provide other significant environmental benefits such as reducing waste, conserving resources, and preventing pollution.
Step-by-step explanation:
Recycling paper does all but the following: saves fluid for printing on paper. This option is not typically cited as a benefit of recycling paper. Recycling paper indeed reduces the amount of waste sent to landfills and incinerators, conserves natural resources such as timber, and prevents pollution by reducing the need to collect new raw materials. It also saves energy and can be part of a strategy towards sustainable materials management.
Answer options 'a', 'b', and 'c' are all benefits of recycling paper. For instance, recycling paper saves 380 gallons of oil and 17 trees, and it can reduce water pollution by minimizing the need for fresh raw materials and the processes that pollute waterways. Answer option 'd' is not associated with the benefits of recycling paper because the fluid for printing on paper is not directly saved through the act of recycling paper itself; instead, it more generally reduces the need for new raw materials and energy consumption associated with creating new paper products.
