Survey Results

The poll I recently posted was based upon what people's opinion about logging is. I asked if they supported the continuation of forestry because I wanted to know how avid the readers are about forestry and also how much they care or if they even know anything about it. I gave four options for answers being: Yes, No, Yes: only if they don't destroy the forest, and No, I love trees too much.  My expectation for the results was that most of the readers would agree with forestry only if it didn't damage the forest extensively. Out of 22 students nine responded to the survey, of the nine respondents, four replied that they did support logging but only if it did not harm the forests too much. The results were as expected, however the reasoning behind it I believe is that it was the safe answer. It did not required a polarized decision, more or less it was a response that would leave them feeling like they saw the good of forestry while protecting our environment. Based upon the results I received I would like to delve deeper into what happens to our forests when people respond to forestry in ways similar to how most of my respondents did and how logging has improved its techniques to better the timber industry.
