How to Armor Planes

It is counterintuitive that the spots on World War II planes that made it back that do not have bullet holes, is the place where you would want to put the armor.

Planes that made it back with bullet holes show that wherever the plane was hit does not need armor because it was still able to fly back. The spots that weren’t hit on planes that made it back were the ones that needed armor. These spots would need armor because on the other planes that were hit in those spots did not make it back successfully.

Paper or Plastic?

Trees take carbon dioxide out of the environment, and the paper made from trees also stores the carbon from the tree. This would make it seem that creating paper would be good for the environment, yet it is not.

Carbon is stored in the trees and in turn, stored in the paper that is produced.  When paper is burned or decomposes carbon dioxide is released into the environment, hurting it. Paper is not a good way to store the carbon because paper has a small decomposing rate.  What does help is recycling our paper.  China is a great help to our need in recycling paper.  We ship large amounts of our paper to china to be reused mostly for cardboard for shipping things to the United States. In the production of paper it is definitely helpful to recycle.
