Almost half of the solid waste produced in America is paper. Producing enough paper for the country uses vast numbers of trees and immense amounts of energy. Using all these trees could take away most of our shade and more importantly it takes away the rain forests and the animals homes and lives. We all use about seven trees a year for all our paper needs.
Paper is used for news, school , magazines, math books , posters and a lot more of our visual needs.
There are some things trees are used for such as wooden homes, and wooden boats. Brick homes may be a better home material than wood. By the year 2000 the human population should be somewhere around 620 billion people. That will be about 620 billion trees dead in the world. Every second a child is born and every second a acre of rain forest is lost.
