ng them in certain compounds like the one over on Greenwich Avenue across from St. Vincent's Hospitals(302). Recycling waste materials is not really saving entropy. When raw materials progress into products, this creates a large amount of loss energy, therefore, the idea is to produce less refined material, not recycle more. In fact, according to Greenpeace, More than 80 percent of the world's ancient forests have been destroyed or degraded by logging(greenpeace). Most of them have ended up as industrial products. Smithson also expressed the problem of waste as due to the enjoyment of our life (304). We want a more pleasure in life, so more production, thus more waste has been created. He used an example of that we want a bigger and better car we are going to have bigger and better waster productions (304). So there's a kind of equation there between the enjoyment of life and waste. Most of industrial product created in ancient rainforests were useless product, such as teddy bears, cigarette filters, cake mix and shoe insoles (greenpeace). The products seem to be more useless, and create large amount of waste. The opposite of waste is luxury, yet still both waste and luxury tend to be useless. The logging of the ancient rainforests lost a large amount of energy and created higher entropy in our world. In fact, trees may be a renewable resource ancient forests are not. The expansion of industrial logging has to stop; otherwise all remaining ancient forest areas will be fragmented or lost within a few short decades.Robert Smithson divided his work into two parts, sites and non-sites. Sites are situations in nature. Non-sites are situations corresponding to a specific open space. For example, one of non-sites is Smithson's "Dead Tree" which was first realized in 1969. A tree, including roots and crown, stretches out in the entrance/exhibition area of the museum. What exactly is his concept of a non-site and a site?In Smithsons work, he p...
