      The chemicals that come from the trees are called “terpenes” and they are made up of carbon and hydrogen atoms.

    Terpenes are the chemicals that I work with to try and make my new chemicals and plastics! Terpenes are nice-smelling oils you get in plants and trees and are what makes pine smell piney and oranges smell orangey. I love tepenes!
