Entry 5:
i have been placed in a recycling bin whatever that is. there is lots of other paper products in here, i heard a small child ask what happens to recycled paper. it turns out they are going to re do the process that was used to turn me into paper in the first place, here we go again. I hope this next time they print me into something useful that people will enjoy, and not have to recycle. i want to find one thing and do it for the rest of my paper life.
Entry 4:
we have all been pressed and it was not what i expected, it was not painful but it felt very uncomfortable at the water was being squeezed out of me. they have already bleached,cut, and shipped me and i have been printed into a news paper. i have a crappy section about cars and homes for sale, many people seem to skip over me. i feel unappreciated and i wish i could go back to the forest and be with my friends.
Entry 3:
we have all been moved to the mill where we were shredding and mixed together. I do not know what they intend to do with us. at this point i am very scared, they are mixing water with us and we are being mixed up and it is very uncomfortable. i heard a worker saying something about pressing us, i do not understand what that is but i hope it is not very painful, and i hope it is something i could enjoy doing for the rest of my life.
Entry 2:
today the men come and come me down, that is not the part that hurt. they let me fall all the way to the ground. i have been loaded in this large truck and now me and my lifetime friends are waiting to see what our future will be. there is a lot of panic and none of us know if we will be separated or if we will stay together. i am very frightened but know is no time to add more panic to this, everyone is scared enough.
Entry 1:
I have been out in these woods my whole life, all of these trees have been around and grown with me. some of the larger trees are cut down i hope that one day this will not happen to me. It doesn not seem enjoyable, and i really like where i live. This is a very nice, quiet area. not much happens other than occasionally some of the larger trees are removed and taken away on large trucks. i have always wondered where these trucks have gone with them, and what there life is like when they leave. I hope this is something i never have to find out.
trees are cut down, and deliered to the mill where they are then debarked, and shredded/chipped and then mixed with water to form a pulp. it is then pressed forcing out all water. it is then bleached and dried. It is then ready for packaging, after paper is no longer usuable in its "fresh" state it can be recycled. to be recylced the same process is used, other then the wood chipping because the paper has previously gone through this stage.
