=__WOOD__ = = = The problem at hand with wood is that many people take it for granted. Wood is used in fires and to make paper there are also many other options wood is used for. In order to get wood we have to cut down trees and sooner or later there is not going to be enough trees in this world to supply humans with the increasing amounts of wood they consume. It doesnt take long for trees to get cut down in fact it takes a more shorter time period to cut them down then to grow them. If this keeps happening we wont have the wood we need to live our lives with. I think that if we were more cautious with how much waste we throw away this world would be a much more environmental friendly place. Not only are we wasting trees that will soon be gone but we are taking away from the animals and their habitats. We are also depriving them of food and security from the rest of the world. People arent really trying to do anything about this issue besides environmentalists or people in certain groups. Most people dont really care because they are getting what they need and what they dont know is that some day this wont be around. They need to open up their eyes and take a good look at what they are using and what damage it is causing this world. =After learning about this I am going to recycle more and be more aware of the paper and wood I use so some day this world wont be without it. I am going to do this because I dont want our world to eventually be without wood permanantly because this would be a burden for many people and nature and its wild life..=



=People use this technology of wood for many purposes, to make paper for warmth by making fires, to build houses, toys, furniture, baseball bats, boats, tables, and many other uses. Wood is uses in our everyday life it is a necessity to human nature. Without wood we wouldnt have the many things we do today in order to survive. If everyone valued wood more then alot of it wouldnt go to waste.=





=**Combusion Reaction for wood** :=

C6H12O6+6O2= 6CO2+6H2O

 * The chemical nature of wood is closely related to sugars. The two reaction products are Carbon dioxide CO2 and Water H2O. Both are released as gases in air. Carbon dioxide is a normal component of air; water is generally known as a liquid, but it is a gas at the high temperature of flame. Gaseous water is a normal component of air (atmospheric humidity).**

==In wood combustion solid wood disappears and is converted to gas products, leaving only a few ashes. These are formed by minor components of wood that cannot burn or remain solid. The other major effects of combustion is production of heat and light. A chemical reaction is a transformation where some molecules are destroyed and new molecules are formed. Molecules are not conserved across chemical reactions.==

==**Wood doesnt not make up a lot of Americas fuel because wood brokers are not marketing to industries with baseload steam requirements, and wood fuel is not being considered by industries. In this environment, finding niche opportunities is challenging and expensive. When there is little evidence that this investment in quote preparation will result in a project, the weak industrial wood energy industry cannot be expected to be a leader in developing this opportunity.** **This technology and wood can make American industries more competitive, stabilize their energy costs, create jobs, reduce environmentally harmful emissions and increase the country's security and energy independence.**  ==
