@Environmentmoxy I'll definitely be thinking about how much paper I use in the future. Thanks for the info.

[David Umstot @DavidUmstot]

@Environmentmoxy I dont see paper bags that much any more. But I do see a lot of paper plates being used at my job.

[David Umstot @DavidUmstot]

@Environmentmoxy My family does send out holiday emails instead card. But it was more for convenience.

[David Umstot @DavidUmstot]

@Environmentmoxy Now that you mention it. A lot of paper does get wasted this time of year.

[David Umstot @DavidUmstot]

@Environmentmoxy Never thought about the recipes.

[David Umstot @DavidUmstot]

@Environmentmoxy I have tried the reusable bages but I usually forget them at home and just go with plastic. At least I can recycle the plastic.

[David Umstot @DavidUmstot]

@Environmentmoxy It's the circle of life.

[David Umstot @DavidUmstot]

@Environmentmoxy That's around 2 and a half acres. A lot of trees can be grown on that much land.

[David Umstot @DavidUmstot]

@Environmentmoxy I was just about to ask you what they are.

[David Umstot @DavidUmstot]

@Environmentmoxy Its not just the paper that causes deforestation it's also the wood cabinets or the wood house that we live in.

[David Umstot @DavidUmstot]

@Environmentmoxy I agree.

[David Umstot @DavidUmstot]

@Environmentmoxy Deforestation usually refers to cutting down trees like in the Amizon rainforest but it can also be just cutting down the tree plots that are grow for the purpose of logging

[David Umstot @DavidUmstot]

@Environmentmoxy I personally dont use much paper. But at my work there is a lot of paper being used.

[David Umstot @DavidUmstot]

@Environmentmoxy Deforestation is an important topic.

[David Umstot @DavidUmstot]

@Environmentmoxy Good evening.

[David Umstot @DavidUmstot]

Thank you to everyone that joined my live chat. The thing that I wanted to get out there is that there are a lot of ways to preserve food. I grew up watching my mom and grandma canning the fruits and vegetables that were grown in the garden.

There are hundreds of websites that can help you with learning how to preserve your food. A good one to start with is the National Center for Home Food Preservation. They give facts about the dangers and the benefits to preserving foods and they also have a great how to section
