Natural resources and why we must save them, sentence 4

So we save resources: we turn off lights and taps, sort rubbish so that paper, glass, metal and plastic can be recycled, use things again, and get energy from the Sun and wind; one tonne of recycled paper saves many trees from being cut.

Who acts: we, one tonne · What happens: save, turn off, sort, recycle, use, get · To what, where: resources, lights, rubbish, paper, things, energy

This is a sentence of the lesson «Natural resources and why we must save them» of the world course of Mova's primary school. The page gives its syntax tree — a dependency tree in the style of Universal Dependencies — and its pragmatics clause by clause: who acts (we, one tonne), what happens, when and where, as Mova's frames read it from the tree.
