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,
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.

“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.
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
Brut is a company that makes products for men such as deodorants, colognes, and etc . advertisement there is a man with a face mask and cucumbers on his face who looks very relaxed, perhaps in a spa. On top of the photo of the man in big bold white letters is the phrase, “Some Men Just Need To Be Slapped”, implying that the man deserves to be injured for an activity that is not considered masculine. When someone is slapped or hit the intention sometimes is to snap them out of something or make them stop doing it. Below the picture the ad continues by saying if “you”, referring to men, think that shopping for curtains instead of playing basketball is not that awful that “you may need a quick masculinity check.” The ad continues by saying that

One of the newer supplements offered to athletes is Quercetin.
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
Although the following statistics do not show any negative effects on the forests in the United States of America, without aggressive efforts to plant trees each year, the population will eventually experience the side effects of less tree production.
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 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.
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.
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.

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 Wilderness Society’s Governing Council states that “No other ecosystem in the world can store as much carbon as do these forests, and it’s a capacity they have not yet begun to reach” (Bert5). Trees are very important to all of the living species. The cutting down of the trees is now nearly 4 billion trees or 35% of the total trees cut around the
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.
