Public Policy Class

Tonight in my Public Policy class, we were talking about deforestation and the devastation it causes. It is taken for granted that trees are able to grow, and because of this I think that people assume the trees will grow back right after they are cut down. Unfortunately, it is not that easy. It takes such a long time for trees to mature, so we need to slow down on cutting them. By being on this campus, the dependency of trees can easily be seen. All of the paper that we use in the computer labs, the library, and in classes shows the devastation done to forests. I am not blaming the college I go to because this is something that goes on at every college and university. Paper is a hot item. It is a hot item in the workplace too. Paper is an everyday item, and we have to realize that it is a product of forests and rain forests.
