Earth Answers - How are trees grown for paper? |
| Description of Resource: |
Learn about where the trees come from that we use for paper and
other daily wood products. Understand how recycling paper products
helps the environment and find out how you can help with this global
effort. Because of forest management, we can periodically harvest
trees to make paper and other products and then replant to ensure
that forest will continue to grow and grow. Trees are a renewable
resource. How we use the wood we get from trees is illustrated and
through the Green Quiz, students can assess their attained knowledge
about trees. |
