healthy logging versus unhealthy logging

We have been using fuel oil as energy resource to run electric generator, and we know that fuel oil is consider as a non-renewable resource. Thus we are encourage to make use of renewable resource to produce electricity such as solar power, wind, water and etc. So what make a resource renewable or non-renewable? One definition is the resource need to be always readily available ,and it is able to replenish itself faster than it is been used.

We were told that trees are a renewable resource. Yet it can also be state as a non-renewable resource. This has to due with what kind of logging policy been employed.First of all an unhealthy policy of logging is a method that people follow when cutting down of trees and they never replenishes the trees lost. Whereas a healthy logging policy is a method that people follow when cutting down of trees they always sustain the rate of planting of trees to the rate of logging of trees. So there will be no depletion of forests. Therefore trees will be renewable resource when healthy policy is been follow and non-renewable resource when unhealthy policy is been used.

One situation on how healthy logging policy is been employ is, for every 1 tree been chopped 7 trees seeding is been planted. This
has ensured that trees will no run out after 30 years.

In a nut shell, healthy logging is to make sure trees become a renewable resource and unhealthy logging make trees become non-renewable resource.

This is a very insightful post on an important topic. You have many language problems though. Look at your verbs, and in particular, the way you have formed passives. Maybe a blogging buddy could have helped you here.

I did not know that logging could be a healthy thing if possible... All the way I thought farming trees is... Perhaps its the same thing....
