Not only does deforestation destroy our environment it contributes in destroying the atmosphere. Us humans breathe oxygen in and exhale carbon dioxide. The trees help purify our air by inhaling the carbon dioxide and exhaling oxygen. How would our oxygen be purified if deforestation was to take place? Studies have shown that in the last century we have begun destroying trees and plants through deforestation. The outcome to this is that there is more and more carbon dioxide trapped in the atmosphere. Carbon dioxide is a greenhouse emission. This heats up the atmosphere as it causes the atmosphere to trap more heat from sunlight. The result in this is that it causes
