What if you are throwing away plastics because your town recycling won’t take them. I think that people can do a better job recycling. Many towns accept different thing in their recycle. For example, some towns don’t accept soft plastic. If we put in more effort to do a good job recycling then we can have a healthier environment. We can drive to different places to recycle.

I have learned a lot from technology so far. I never knew all the thought that goes into making lots of everyday objects. It is really interesting to see all the types of wood, metal, and plastics. I particularly liked the wood video. It takes a lot of work to process wood, but with the help of the machines it so much easier. It makes me appreciate technology more!

3. “Oregon Forest Law requires us to replant the site within two years and it needs to meet “green-up” standards by six [years]. By state law we are required to leave two live trees standing and two downed trees per acre of clearcut harvest. We are also requried to protect small medium and large fish streams.”

In some states there are laws that require the  timber industry to protect the environment (during the harvest) and replant the land (following the harvest). From an environmental convservation and sustainability perspective, what is your opinion of this? Should the requirements be different?

I believe that laws to protect the environment are very important. Obviously trees are important to the environment. If we removed all the trees it wouldn’t be healthy. Trees have many characteristics that are necessary to sustain wild life. The trees also perform gas exchange.
