How do you manufacture your own invention?
First let your thoughts flow free. Second make sure you aren't doing this solely for profit (you've seen all those annoying commercials). Third think it through how will it work. Fourth research your idea make sure you know how to make it work with as little malfunctions as possible. I don't know much more then that make sure you copyright any good ideas.
You cannot copyright inventions and if you did it would provide no protection for the ideas. If they are truly novel and an improvement on existing state of the art you can and should patent them, an entirely different process (Getting an enforceable patent requires hiring a patent attorney to do the search and file the paperwork, while getting an enforceable copyright only requires making sure a correctly worded copyright notice appears on each copy distributed). If you choose not to patent an invention you must keep it a trade secret.
Copyrights only apply to printed works and works of "art" (e.g. music, paintings, computer software, integrated circuit etching masks).

How many trees are cut down to make a pack of notebook paper?
It would take a rough average of 24 trees to produce a ton of paper. We can estimate that it takes about 12 trees to make a ton of ground wood and newsprint.
SOME TYPICAL CALCULATIONS:
- 1 ton of uncoated virgin (non-recycled) printing and office paper uses 24 trees
- 1 ton of 100% virgin (non-recycled) newsprint uses 12 trees
- A "pallet" of copier paper (20-lb. sheet weight, or 20#) contains 40 cartons and weighs 1 ton. Therefore,
- 1 carton (10 reams) of 100% virgin copier paper uses .6 trees
- 1 tree makes 16.67 reams of copy paper or 8,333.3 sheets
- 1 ream (500 sheets) uses 6% of a tree (and those add up quickly!)
- 1 ton of coated, higher-end virgin magazine paper (used for magazines like National Geographic and many others) uses a little more than 15 trees (15.36)
- 1 ton of coated, lower-end virgin magazine paper (used for newsmagazines and most catalogs) uses nearly 8 trees (7.68)
- 23 trees needed for make a ton of paper

Do you have the right to report safety problems to OSHA?
Yes, you have a right to file a complaint with OSHA regarding unsafe or unhealthful conditions in the workplace that are not being addressed by your employer.
But keep in mind that this may be regarded as whistle-blowing if you don't inform the company first (and give it an opportunity to correct the situation). OSHA also enforces protection for those who are discriminated against or retaliated against because they filed a complaint, but some believe that protections for whistle-blowers have eroded somewhat in recent times.
It is the employees' right to health and safety security in the workplace so if ever you are working in a place that is not OSHA compliant, be sure to make ways to be compliant.
