wastepaper should be used for energy, but less us borrow the wood for fibres first before it is burned.

The above is the one, but I can not really say if it is a good one in literature. Can you help me with it?

"Less us" can never be found in my writing. I would use " few people ", or " we seldom, rarely ...". How about you?

Why did the author use " borrow "? I can not really understand it. I would say " take good use of fibres of wood before it was burned " . yes, take good use, make good use,

Do you think borrow is a correct one here?

I don't know what the sentence means. "Less us" does not exist in English.

Borrow connotes a usage that is temporary, and then the fibers would be returned.

First off, capitalize the first letter.

I think instead of "less" the right word would be "let".

"Borrow" is weak; I think the idea is still sound. I would have said "utilize" but this may seem too formal.

My preference would have been to put "first" after "us" to make the point stronger.
