the former takes a more natural‚ less energy intensive path‚ while the latter takes more energy input from the use of fossil fuels to power the machines to plant‚ sow and maintain the tree farms. Once the trees are felled‚ requiring energy input‚ it is converted to pulp. The transformation of tree chips into pulp and then paper is an energy intensive endeavor‚ taking fossil fuel inputs to form and shape the paper into a specific product. Some paper products take more processing in order to obtain

will no longer be able to drive your vehicle to work or anywhere you would like to go. This could be a possible outcome due to the fact that over the years‚ thousands of cars have been manufactured and most of them run and depend on fossil fuels. Today these fossil fuels are potentially in danger of running out due to the use of them in the vehicles we travel in every day. Currently cars such as hybrids are being manufactured and are being brought to attention so this problem will be less likely to

trap infrared radiation whereas Global warming refers to an increase in the average temperature of the Earth as a result of the greenhouse effect. Burning fossil fuels raises the level of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere‚ and it is a major contributor to the greenhouse effect and global warming. We can help to reduce the demand for fossil fuels‚ which in turn reduces global warming‚ by using energy more wisely. The most important and useful way is Reduce‚ Reuse and Recycle. We should do our part
