I personally think I use materials 2 and 5 because 2 has the contents of milk jugs, water bottles and other plastics that are made for one time use and daily needs and are very soft plastics. I also use material 5 since it include things like plastic utensils, food containers and all things that are also one time use and can easily be disposed of. They both are made with soft plastics that can be disfigured or bent very easily. These items could be reused but only a select few and it still wouldn’t be very good for reusability since they are all made with soft plastics. I believe that they use soft plastics instead of hard plastics for these materials since they are one time use and need to be thrown out easily.

I think that other land owners might use their land for farms since they can cut down all their trees and after they are gone, you can use the land for farming since it would just be a big plain. I would personally use it for building houses, or developing a town their with maybe all the wood I’ve gathered from the forest since I would be left with open land. I think that it would be very dangerous to work in the lumber industry before, since you would have to manually cut down the trees which is first of all a lot of work, and it is also very dangerous since the lumberjacks could be killed by the trees falling on top of them. They would also probably have to use either axes, or chainsaws. I would personally invent something that wouldn’t require any manual labor, and wouldn’t be dangerous for people. I think that the Oregon forest law is perfect and should never be repealed since protecting the environment is very important.

I personally think that this was a coincidence and just down to personalities. I’m just guessing that more boys in this class are less shy and willing to answer more in front of people and the girls in this class are maybe more shy and just want to communicate through email instead of in class. This could also not be the case, and as class goes on, maybe more girls will speak up, and more boys will email.
