There has been a lot of debate on whether we are keeping our earth clean and preserving our trees. In “the Lorax” as time passes all the trees are cut down and there are no more of them. There is little air, no trees, and air has to be packaged in bottles. The debate is whether or not we will end up like that, and the answer is yes. We are cutting down trees at a faster rate than we are replacing them and I imagine that they will all be gone in the next 300 years. We are cutting down trees at a constant rate and this is no movie, it will not end with the same happy ending. If you think about it the movie is quite realistic. Now,there are a lot more trees than one person can cut down in his or her lifetime and it would take much longer,
If these trees were to disappear then when it rains landslides will happen costing thousands or millions to repair damage. Trees also provide food to many animals, and if the tree disappear so will the animals, and the animals that eat from trees. Source A “Tree Loss” states, “One tree can clean toxic emissions from dirty air exhausted from an average car being driven 4,000 miles.” If we had no tree or plants in all, our Earth would be covered in gasses that would be toxic to us. Many people may argue that trees helped build our society from houses and buildings, but us destroying trees are also destroying the environment or nature’s
The forests that surround us and are a crucial part of our eco system has developed over millions of years. Even since the age of dinosaurs, we have forests which went depleted and replenished, going from age to age. The ecosystem of the forests provides a home to all animals and not only do we take their home, we are not replacing them. The animals who lose their home in the wake of cutting trees, will eventually come close to cities. Not only the forests are a source of oxygen for all living beings, they also help curtail the greenhouse gases and keep global warming in control.
“Hey guys! This is the last communication you shall receive from me. I now walk out to live amongst the wild. Take care, it was great knowing you” (Qtd. In Krakauer 69). After graduating from Emory University, Christopher McCandless abandoned everything, gave his entire savings account to charity, and then hitchhiked to Alaska to live in the wild. In the novel, Into the Wild, Was McCandless justified in shunning society? McCandless was justified in shunning society because he simply wanted to find himself and be independent without any distractions from his friends or family.
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.
If things keep going the way they are humans will inevitably destroy the ocean and in doing so destroy themselves. There need to be more Loraxes. We the people need to work together to minimize and ultimately stop the production and use of plastics. Driving down the highway, or the gravel road it doesn’t matter I look on either side of the road and what do I see; plastic debris and trash. Someone had to have thrown it there or maybe it blew out of the back of a trash truck going by but regardless there it sits until someone picks it up or an animal mistakes it for a meal or a home.
“People who will not sustain trees, will soon live in a world that cannot sustain people”(Bryce Nelson). Deforestation is the permanent destruction of forests in order to make the land available for other uses. Deforestation has overtime become a leading environmental problem in the U.S. It is estimated that at the beginning of the european settlement, in 1630, the area of forest was 423 million hectares. By 1907, the area had declined to 307 million, according to,”U.S forest facts and historical trends”. Deforestation is caused and will affect the human who call the U.S home. Issues with the environment such as global warming, the thinning of the ozone, and deforestation all contribute to critical problems in the U.S. deforestation highly
How would one feel if one 's daughter was kidnapped and ended up being a victim of child prostitution? Of course you would feel sick and disgusted. In the book, Somebody 's Daughter: The Hidden Story of America 's Prostituted Children and the Battle to save Them, Julian Sher explains that prostitution affects young women in America who are usually runaways. There are multiple situations of different victims being sex trafficked all over the United States; however, they are treated as criminals rather than victims. All through the book, Sher clarifies that, child prostitution is an important awareness that we the general population should put a stop to
Are moral standards in the eye of the beholder? According to one author, “we’ve seriously lost our way”, going on to state, “we are like mean adrift at sea without a compass” (Hulme). In literature as in biology, the mantra of form fits function applies and heightens a reader’s appreciation of a writer’s choice and how they contribute to a work of literature. In Tim O’Brien’s collection of short stories, The Things They Carried, the narrative, the experience of reading and the alternating Vietnam and modern day settings not only shape the author’s world view, but reflect upon his own experiences in the 1960’s and 1970’s war. The short stories within
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.

Did You Know that Deforestation is one of the leading causes of animal extinction? During Deforestation, "50-100 Species are lost each day as a result of forest loss", states Laura Simar, Author of the article "...Devastating Facts of Deforestation". It isn't worth our time. Industries should not Cut Down Trees and Forests because they provide a way of life, not only for animals, but for humans too. Forests Provide a way of life for everything revolving around it.
Ninety percent of the earth’s trees between three and four hundred years old have been cut down. The remaining ten percent is all we will ever have (Gallant, 97). The definition of deforestation by the Random House Dictionary of the English Language is "to divest or clear of forests or trees.” Deforestation is one of the most significant issues of our time; considerable measures must be taken to prevent further pillaging of our unique forest resource.
The Future of our planet is in stake? And its major cause is just cutting the trees. Does it sound silly? Maybe, but it is one of the major cause of the major problem in the world. And it is described with a term called “Deforestation”. Deforestation is the mass destruction of forests so that the land can be used for other purposes. According to the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), it is estimated that 18 million acres (7.3 million hectares) of forest area each year corresponds to that of Panama(A country in Central America).Deforestation has important global consequences. As trees grow, forests cut carbon in the form of wood and other biomass, absorbing carbon dioxide from the atmosphere (see Carbon Cycle). When forests are burned, their carbon returns to the atmosphere as carbon dioxide, a potential greenhouse gas that can alter the global climate (see the greenhouse effect; global warming) and trees no longer exist to cut off more carbon. Despite the fact that the effects of the deforestation are more, The factors that causes deforestation is lot and it's not because of any individual person or any particular country. Every human in this planet have a fair part in this crisis. And it can reversed, if necessary measures are taken to avoid the deforestation in future and protect our Planet. Moreover, the change can be made by knowing the root factor which causes the problem.
Trees are essential to life, there is no doubt about it. They provide us with oxygen, paper products, and they even absorb greenhouse gases. However, the world is losing trees at an alarming rate. Trees can not grow at a fast enough rate to replenish what has been cut down. This is called deforestation. Deforestation is when many trees in one area are cut down, mostly for logging and agricultural reasons.
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.
