Following directions, Janelle gathered around Professor Flamsteed with the other students. She was ready for the field trip to start, but she was not looking forward to the portkey ride. Listening to the professor talk about the trip made Janelle even more excited. Then it was question time. Running some possible answers through her mind, she raised her hand to give her question.

"I agree that cutting down trees is bad. Trees give off oxygen and help take a lot of the bad stuff out of the air." Janelle took a glance at Professor Myers, to let him know that she had been paying attention in class. "With so many cars and factories polluting the air, we need all the help we can get to keep the air clean. By cutting down trees, we're also taking away some animals' homes. That can just throw off the whole balance of nature."
