Deforestation

 Deforestation

Deforestation is when our forest and trees are cut which causes

climate change. Deforestation is bad for the environment and the planet.

It also can cause hurricanes,

tornados, fires, and floods and a lot more disasters

are caused by deforestation.

Did you know the amount of wood and paper we throw away each year is enough

to heat 50 million homes for 20 years. Also, 1 billion trees that are turned into paper

are thrown away every year in the U.S which is a huge amount of paper that was once trees

thrown away.

Keeping forests alive also helps stop floods and droughts. The death of

trees would release a lot of higher amounts of carbon dioxide

into the air and lower amounts of oxygen.   Deforestation also forces

wildlife to move and find safer homes away from all the trees getting cut down.

The number of trees that are cut down is around 50,000 to 100,000 trees per square km which means each year 3.5 billion to 7 billion trees are cut down each year.  That will cause a lot of wildlife deaths and makes more room to build factories.

In conclusion, deforestation causes a lot of disasters to cities and the

environment and that is why we should put an end to deforestation.
