Question

For my final I am to write a paper discussing the following : Select some product produced in your city or state that is made from earth, mineral, or energy resources. One example would be the tar paper used as a building material. (Do not use this example).

Prepare a 700- to 1,050-word paper on a project you would like to institute to reduce waste associated with the production of the specific product you selected. Include an assessment of the following:

• Analysis of the waste associated with your resource
• Advantages and disadvantages of using alternate resources

I am having a little difficulty selecting my topic for Oregon. Just hoping that someone might be able to give me some more examples and perhaps lend me some guidance.
