Where does most of our paper come from? Trees. Sooner or later, we may be limited of the amount of trees to be cut.The purpose of this bill is to protect our trees and rainforests. In place of paper, we would start using more electronics. For example, start using things like Smartboards, computers, and tablets. If schools gave students a computer for school, we could greatly reduce the use of paper. It would be even better if students who own laptops could bring theirs to school. Think about the effects of removing all the trees. Trees take in harmful CO2 and give off life-giving Oxygen. Trees also give a habitat to animals of all kinds and if we keep cutting them down then these animals will not have anywhere to live. Our bill will limit the amount of paper in schools and have more electronic copies of papers, therefore less trees will be cut down. ** = =My bill will work if they stop cutting down trees and save the environment.=
