How Paper Has Negatively Impacted The Environment

Deforestation is the process of cutting or burning too many trees. In deforestation, forests are completely cleared, and that land is used for other purposes. Major example of deforestation is in the Amazon rainforest in South America. Within last twenty-six years, it went form a thick layer of green forest, to empty clean area. Cutting these breathe in CO2 and breathe out oxygen. Trees are a natural way to controlling CO2 in the atmosphere. Once the forest is clean in deforestation, these no natural way left for balancing CO2 in the environment that leads to too much CO2 in the air. Also, trees are made 50 percent with CO2 in them which they use for energy. When deforestation takes place, the CO2 from tree is released in the air. As said before too much CO2 increases temperature of the planet leading to global

As far as materials go, one can see that humans have been positively benefited with an abundance of materials made out of wood, due to the increase in deforestation. Things such as, homes, desk, tables, and chairs all are positive takeaways from deforestation. Working forests form the foundation of the timber industry that supports nearly 106,000 workers, and generates 5.2 billion in wages annually. Some of the negative effects of deforestation on humans are, a slow loss of the world's leading producer of oxygen, trees. Without forest, 50 percent of the nation's water supply will go unfiltered, and 12 percent of the U.S carbon release won’t be absorbed, according to, the U.S plant a billion trees movements. Also with a lack of trees, the problem of erosion arises, roads, houses, and commercial real-estate will all be negatively affected. Aside from the negative effect of humans deforestation will have a huge negative effects on animals. Migration patterns will be dramatically change, and due to a loss of habitat, animals will be pushed in closer to humans, which will result in an abundance of change. Deforestation has also proved beneficial for animals. The opening up of the landscape promotes the growth of low-lying vegetation that mammals feed on. Also the deer and elk population thrive on young successional forests, especially in areas following wildlife or timber harvest. America’s

Deforestation is when people cut down and clear forests for logging, agriculture, and mining. Many people believe that deforestation has a positive impact on society. They say this because deforestation can create things people need to survive, and deforestation creates jobs. On the other hand, deforestation has a negative effect on society. Deforestation harms animals and plants, can wipe out entire forests which are important to us all, and intensifies global warming. Deforestation has a negative impact on our environment and should be limited.

Deforestation is the destruction of a wide area of forest land into a cleared land that is used for a variety of reasons. The impact on the environment from cutting down, burning and damaging forests is very detrimental and there are severe consequences for the environment and future generations because of deforestation. According to the United Nations' Food and Agriculture Organization approximately 7.3 million hectares of forests are being destroyed per year in the world (Bradford, 2015). In this essay, I will explore the impact that deforestation on the environment and I will also look at the actions that are being taken to prevent deforestation. There are various reasons why deforestation is occurring despite its negative effects on the environment. Deforestation can cause very serious environmental problems such as climate change, flooding, loss of habitats as well as others.

Planting trees in metropolitan areas offer several benefits. The greenery adds beauty to the area as the plants absorb carbon dioxide, toxins and odors. The air is cleaner and pollution is less. Plants also release oxygen that humans need for breathing. The oxygen reduces the greenhouse effect that contributes to global warming. Trees also

Deforestation is the clearing of a forest and/or cutting down of trees for human benefits such as agriculture, wood exports, etc. Deforestation is the cause of numerous environmental impacts such as habitat loss, flooding and soil erosion. It can also cause climate change, by reducing the amount of rainfall and changing the amount of sunlight reflected from Earth’s surface and increases the risk of forest . Tree growth is important for biodiversity because they absorb carbon dioxide which is a harmful greenhouse gas . However, since deforestation reduces natural carbon sinks, it disrupts the balance between oxygen and carbon dioxide in the air causing the amount of carbon dioxide in the air to increase. This poses a serious

Yet and still, technology has given us many advances over the years. From the typewriter to the printing press, technological advances have made life easier and convenient. We might not see the benefit in the present moment, but eventually it’ll all become clear. For example, objectors of Gutenberg’s 15th century printing press argued that the easily accessibility

Oh, you don't know too much about trees, do you? Well let me tell you that trees are amazing, and I mean, we literally breathe the air they are creating, and they clean up our pollution, our carbon, store and purify water, give us medicine that cures ours diseases and food that feeds us.

Real trees help animals stay alive and if animals stay alive it helps humans stay alive. Trees help animals stay alive because it provides them with oxygen the tree has and need. When animals receive oxygen they pass it on to humans and that way animals and humans stay alive and get what they need. Oxygen is part of the photosynthesis cycle and that is when there are lots of steps plants and trees go through to make things

Trees are very critical in landscaping as they form the foundation of any landscaping work. You can plant trees in your yard to provide privacy, shade and enhance the look and feel of your yard. Trees are also useful in slowing climate change and providing habitat for wildlife. When selecting the right tree for your yard, you need consider factors such as maturity size and number of seasons it take for the tree reproduce. Keeping trees healthy is critical but highly challenging. A good tree must endure extreme weather conditions, neglectful care, environmental toxins and disease and insect attacks. It is also important to recognize that slow maturing trees tend to live longer and stronger. Below is a

Deforestation is the cutting down of a large area of trees and the destruction of forests by people. Forests are what we call an exhaustible resource, one which can be used up if it is not used carefully. Over the last few decades, deforestation has threatened the rainforests with total extinction. To understand why deforestation is such an important issue, you first have to understand why trees matter. Trees improve in many ways the life of all species, including the human race.

I still remember the pause I had when I was about to pull the paper towel in the restroom of my college. That pause came with the recollection of the commitment I had made, not to use things whose productions lead to deforestation- conversion of forested regions to non-forest land for human use and industrial gain until I really need it. After a long look at the mirror, I smirked to myself and turned around settling my wet hands in my pants pocket so that they would dry till I reach my class. After a few days of attachment to the commitment, I realized that although it might be just a drop of water in an ocean but we can really minimize the consumption of products that lead to deforestation. For that, I have decided to recycle my books and also prioritize in purchasing recycled materials as much as possible. Carrying handkerchief instead of paper towels is another thing that I have decided to do. Alongside that, I have convinced my friends to reduce the use of products that come from forest resources which they are legitimately positive about . Deep thinking on well known yet ignored issue of deforestation and its consequences which needs to be controlled in order to maintain livable environment in this world convinced me to make some commitments in hopes of minimizing the excessive use of products that lead to deforestation.

To begin, forest based industrialization is based on forest resources that are used to stimulate economic growth and development. One of the products that have been most important to human economies has always been wood. Wood is durable, light weight, easily worked, waterproof, and a good fiber source. Wood is used in almost every aspect of our lives, for building materials, living, and just surviving. We need wood to build our homes to live in and buildings in which we work and spend the other resource that comes from trees “money”. Studies show that 70% of the products that we use a day are made of some kind of wood. If we were to look around our homes and count all the items that are made of wood we would probably find that 60 percent are made of wood. Without wood humans and other species would never be able to survive.

The environmental benefits would be significant if companies switched to a paperless office. “Each year the switch would: Save 16.5 million trees (2.3 million tons of wood). Decrease emission of greenhouse gasses by 3.9 billion pounds, the equivalent of taking 355,000 cars off the road and reduce fuel consumption by 26 million BTUs, enough energy to provide residential power to San Francisco for a year” (e.g., Abbott, K. 2008).

Deforestation is a problem that does not concern many people, but it is an issue that the people of Earth need to deal with. In the past 50 years deforestation has increased a significant amount, but people around the world have been removing the forests since the 1600s. The forests remaining are in danger as the human population goes up, the need for resources will also increase and this will make the deforestation of the last forests come quicker before humans realize it is too late. Unless the people address this threat to the world, it will be too late because this is something that can be fixed, the forests can be rebuilt but it has to start right now before there is nothing people can do. There are many causes for deforestation such as, clearing space for urbanization, making areas available for houses, or harvesting the lumber for goods and other consumer items and all of these have an effect on the world. The consequences of deforestation can affect all aspects of life on Earth, including the water cycle, the soil, and the life quality of species around the world.
