How rubber is made

People would have entire forests of these trees to produce rubber.


This is a rubber tree. In Guatemala I saw thousands of these trees. The people collect the sap of the tree and boil/ and even burn it, then it is mixed with some other chemicals and turned into rubber.

cool!!! when I was little I thought it would be so cool to do what I've hear some rainforest people do... cover their feet with rubber so they basically have permanient shoes until the rubber wears down. lol
