Chips

Hi Everybody, it's Ben,

I've been thinking about chips,like the kind you can eat. The chip companies use so much bagging material. When I get a large bag and I open it, half of the bag is empty. They just waste so much material. So, either the companies should keep the same amount of chips and make smaller bags or they should fill the bags up all the way. My solution is that stores make reusable bags, take out all the chip bags and get rid if them,then the stores get chips and put them in dispensers that you can fill your reusable bags with.

Fake or Real?

Hi Guys!
It's Hannah.
So, it's Christmas time! And, of course, that means mangers, decorations, candle-light services, presents, and the infamous Christmas tree. Every year, around this time, my family goes to Baker's Christmas Tree Farm, and scouts around until we find the best tree there. I know lots of people who have real trees, and I know tons who have "artificial" (fake) trees. Now, which one is better for the planet? Just since my birth, my family has annually helped slaughter 14 trees for Christmas. Talk about bad. But, the trees we buy are planted specifically for use as Christmas trees, so when they're chopped down, it technically isn't taking away from the ever shrinking tree population. Artificial trees are made out of all kinds synthetic plastics and bad-for-the-planet junk. But, if you only buy one your entire life (in theory), that would be so much better for the planet! I've decided that artificial trees are better for the earth, but it was a close call. It's CHRISTMAS! A good smelling, fresh Christmas Tree is just too much to give up!
