To whomever it may concern, My name is Cassidy Hobert, and I am working with a group of students at Mount Rainier High School in Des Moines. We are conducting a service learning project for our class, and we are focussing on deforestation and how it effects the climate. We were wondering if you may have any information or data you could let us use in our
I’m writing this letter to show I am interested in becoming a Team Leader at Harkins Theater. I know a lot about the company and what needs to be done. I want to help the workers at Harkins provide the Ultimate Movie Going Experience for all customers. I was hired on July 27, 2015. I worked for Harkins Theater for seven months now. I am trained all three components ( Usher, Concessions, Box). What I can bring to the company is being a reliable TL. I’m always on time and would not mind having to work a little after my shifts ends to make sure everything is ready for the next day. I've also pay attention to past and present TL to get a good idea of how things need to be ran for a easy and steady work place. During the summer I participated in
Deforestation plays a big role in global warming. The “land use connection” referred to as “land use changes” is a huge contributor to global greenhouse gas emissions. Land use change involves all the destructions of land in order to produce and distribute food. Every year rainforests are demolished for agriculture intentions. “The biggest factors are the destruction of vital rainforests through burning and clearing and the elimination of wetlands” (Lappe 753). Deforestation of these habitats leads to the discharge carbon dioxide into the environment.

The affect of environmental issues occur everyday and in particular deforestation is becoming a highly ranked subject. From animals to the human race, the alacrity of trees that are cut down affects every individual in a variety of ways. Not only do people need to help the planet but they need to help themselves and further generations to come, such as children and grandchildren because these natural resources that are being taken away from society are as well shaping the future. For comprehensible reasons, forests use to make up the world, until man made creatures started to destroy and destruct the most important supply to human kind which are trees. Trees are crucial to every living entity for the reason of providing oxygen to all.
The causes of deforestation vary in number a few have made a big impact on the problem. The USA's population has increased by over a hundred million people since 1970, more than half of the whole population at the time. As seen many factors come along with a growth in population things such as, a need for more space, and a need for more wood for conventional uses, all contribute to the huge increase of deforestation. With nearly one-quarter of America’s tree canopy existing in our backyards, city streets and parks, our population has a huge responsibility,according to, “United states, plant a billion trees”. The next big contributor to the problem of deforestation in the U.S. is land for livestock. In the U.S. one of the biggest causes of deforestation is land for livestock. The single biggest direct cause of tropical deforestation, is conservation to cropland and pastures, mostly for subsistence, which is growing crops or raising livestock to
After some careful consideration and examination, I recommend that we accept SCI’s bid of $43 per share. My recommendation is based upon my assessment of four things:
Using your own words, what is the cause of deforestation, as listed on the Global Forest Change map, for your study area?

Three to six billion trees are cut down each and every year! Deforestation is a huge problem in the rainforests. Because these forests are home to much of the Earth’s species of life. Covering 30 percent of our land forests provide homes, protection, and oxygen for humans and other wildlife in the forests. There are 7.125 billion people that count on the benefits provided by the forest, which is: food, clothing, traditional medicine and shelter. If something isn 't done soon to reduce our carbon footprint, we will not have forests of any type to soak up the carbon dioxide(CO2) in the atmosphere.
Rainforests have been declining rapidly over the last few decades. There are various factors responsible for this decline, resulting in serious impacts on the environment and the economy. Critically discuss the causes of deforestation and solutions to it.
There are many causes/factors to deforestation, which are largely associated with direct human influence. The first proximate cause to deforestation is infrastructure expansion (Geist & Lambin, 2002, p. 144). This refers to transportation (roads), private and public markets, rural and urban settlements, and private and public services (water lines, oil exploitation, etc…) (Geist & Lambin, 2002, p. 144). The next cause is agricultural expansion, which includes, large or small-scale cultivations, shifting cultivations (slash and burn), and, of course, cattle ranching. Wood extractions for industrial and domestic purposes are other proximate causes to this issue.
Environmental issues affect every life on this planet from the smallest parasite to the human race. There are many resources that humans and animal needs to survive; some of the most obvious resources come from the forests. Forests make up a large percentage of the globe. The forests have global implications not just on life but on the quality of it. Trees improve the quality of the air that species breath, determine rainfall and replenish the atmosphere. The wood from the forests are used everyday form many useful resources. Moreover, thinning the forests increases the amount of available light, nutrients and water for the remaining trees. Deforestation (forest thinning) is one of the most
I am appealing to you as a conservationist. I believe that the natural resources of the forest can be of great help to us. As we experience this oil and gas crisis in the US, we are forced to import oil from foreign countries. Thus causing the cost of
Forests have covered the earth for millions of years, providing habitat and food for animals and humans. These forests have stabilized different ecosystems and have continued the natural cycle that keeps plants and animals in check. The discovery of fire changed all of this. It was the beginning of deforestation, a process that has continued and increased over the last 200,000 years. Humans are the responsible party for the deforestation that has occurred. Humans discovered that animals could be driven with fire. This led to accelerated forest loss due to uncontrolled burning for hunting use (Miller & Tangley 1991: 28). Agriculture was the next problem
Deforestation is a major global problem with serious consequences to the planet. These consequences have a negative effect on the climate, biodiversity, the atmosphere and threatens the cultural and physical survival of life. Deforestation is the permanent destruction of indigenous forests and woodlands. It has resulted in the reduction of indigenous forests to four-fifths of their pre-agricultural area, so that now indigenous forests cover only 21% of the earth's land surface. The world Resources Institute regards deforestation as one of the worlds most pressing land use problem.
