THE STORY OF PAPER

Have you ever thought very deeply on how paper is made? We know that it's made out of trees, but how?

Primary Industry

The first step of making paper, is extracting and cutting down the trees. The natural resource in this case, are obviously the trees. The human resource,is the person cutting down the trees, and bringing the wood into a factory.

Secondary Industry

The bark is removed, and cut into tiny wood chips. The capital resources are, the grinding machines, the filters, and the beating machines. Once it's cut into little wood chips, it is sent through the filters. After that, they put it through a squeezing and beating machine. Then, the pulp is pumped into giant, automated machines.
After that, the paper is finally made!

Tertiary Industry

The tertiary industry is when they put the product in the store, and sell it. And we're the "Golden Arrow of Consumption", because we're buying the paper.

The Effect on the Environment

The fact that we're cutting down the trees, really effects our environment, because look at how much paper we are wasting, and how many trees are getting cut down in our own environment. Trees help us by giving us oxygen, and of course, making stuff out of paper. Yet we are tearing apart and wasting them so quickly, without thinking how much we really need. Paper helps us in many ways, from hanging a picture, to printing out essays and documents. But we can't keep cutting down and wasting it. We need to start being wiser with it, and start recycling. Guess what? Recycling paper can still make us more paper!
