Some ways you save trees is that you can reuse tree products. For example, a piece of paper can be used again after one job is done. If one side of a paper is used and you are done, don’t throw it away. You can bring it into a nearby recycling center or use that paper to show calculations or take notes on that sheet of paper. You could also buy paper towels that can be dried and reused over and over again. Another option could be to buy cloths instead of throwing away paper towels. Back then, people would have never thought of throwing something away after it was used just once.

Forest fires often start in the summer. Lookouts are posted in cabins on mountains in the summer fire season. These lookouts use telescopes to spot out fire or smoke coming from a forest. When they see a fire, he/she radios a message to the closest fire-fighter. Sometimes, instead of lookouts, airplanes are sent to patrol around the area for fires. Sometimes fires are good for a forest. A fire can burn down the old, huge trees, and let the younger, smaller trees absorb the sunlight. Also, the ashes from the burnt trees give the small trees nutrients.
