How to make a good cardboard chair
ttp://www.sustainlane.com/reviews/how-to-make-the-worlds-best-cardboard-chair/QUQYAY4TTLD9JZA4JCPI9LU9KNIR This site was the most informational and interesting to me. This site had a lot of information and steps. It was very detailed and simple. It had a list of all the materials I would need. In addition, this site broke it down so it was easy to understand. I also liked the concept of the chair. It was very modern and sheek. Also, cardboard furniture has a lot to do with technology? Cardboard is more earth-friendly and affordable than its wooden counterparts, which usually requires felling trees, or furniture made of pressboard, which contains toxic glues. It's also lightweight and can be packed flat for easy shipping.

The site said that what worked was the fact that they built a successful item out of cardboard. The material withstood the pressure. However, what did not work was cutting straight lines. One of the materials listed was a box cutter. This explains why the lines may not have been straight.

Wordle Reflection
In my use of the Blogger site I've learned that blogging is a fun and easy way to connect with friends or find intrests with other people and make new friends. You have the world at your fingertips and can talk to others across the world and share ideas or beliefs with others in their blogs. There are many blogs throughout the internet that cover a large span of intrests that you can find and you can even make your own with your own intrests in mine that other people might like and comment on. Blogging is something and it's easy to see why since many people blog, even if it's about the same subject as anothers. People add their own views and points to an ever growing database of people and their ideas.
