Trees in Danger
Millions of years before animals lived on land; there were trees on the Earth. But today trees are in serious danger. Everybody knows that trees produce oxygen that we breathe and take carbon dioxide that we exhale that is why trees called the lungs of our world. As man cannot live without lungs, so and world cannot exist without trees. Factories, power stations and cars emit tons of smoke into the air. This smoke contains sulphur dioxide and nitrogen oxide. These substances mix with water vapor in the atmosphere and form sulphuric acid and nitric acid. Sunlight turns these acids into poisonous oxidants which fall in rain or snow onto the trees. This smoke damage not only trees, it also damage our lives and our planet. Trees are cut down faster than the government's program for restoring the forest work. Why don't governments do something to save the trees? Unfortunately, acid rain doesn't always fall on the countries which produce the pollution. The wind carries the poisonous substances from one country to another. I think that government should pay more attention to this problem.Planting more trees is only part of the solution because trees are not only cut down, also they burned because of the human negligence. All the famous trees are in danger from pesticides and fertilizers that degrade the surrounding environment, pollution from growing airports or roads and even human activity eroding land around the tree. There are individual and collections of very significant trees that are in danger, mostly through agricultural practices but also pollution, insidious development and in the long term climate change. All old trees across all worlds are being chopped down to make way for houses and roads. In other parts of the world trees are threatened by people, not by pollution. The great rain forest of Asia and South America are being destroyed for firewood and building material. Something must be done. Trees are important because they provide a home for

    Tropical rainforests are getting cut down at a rate of 6000 trees an hour, this extremely rapid deforestation of rainforests has caused rainforests that were once 14% of earth’s surface all the way down to only 6%, at the rate we are chopping rainforests will be gone in approximately 40 years.

    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. They help to maintain the Earth’s benevolent atmosphere, provide shelter for much biodiversity, but also have a high commercial value. As a consequence there is much critical debate around the causes and solutions for deforestation.…

    Deforestation is an issue we need to fix. I would like to spend 100,000 dollars on deforestation because some of the trees that are being cut down are thousands of years old. “Any fool can destroy trees”(John Muir, “The American Forests,” Atlantic Monthly, August, 1897) Above all this, one fact remains the same, we need trees to live. If we destroy all the trees in the world, we are left with harsh living conditions for ourselves. Our forests should be preserved if we want a better nation.…

    Cutting down the forests destroys other species’s habitats and causes erosion. Burning down the forests releases huge amount of CO2, which contributes to global warming and changes in global climate patterns. Burning coal for electricity is devastating. It also releases CO2 and greenhouse gases, which cause global warming, ice melting, and coral reef dying. Smoke from industries damages the ozone layer and causes acid rain.…

    Deforestation is the third largest source of greenhouse gas emissions after coal and oil (WWF). It actually leads to more air pollution, in terms of carbon dioxide, than all the cars and trucks in the world (Scheer, Moss, 2012). Around 14 percent of the carbon emissions come from automobiles and trucks, while above 15 percent come from deforestation, according to World Carfree Network and WWF (Scheer, Moss, 2012); (WWF). Trees remove absorb carbon dioxide through the process of photosynthesis, therefore if forests are removed, the process of photosynthesis will slow down leading to higher levels of carbon dioxide. Later on, these amounts of carbon dioxide could have a negative effect on the Earth’s equilibrium (Hilderman, 2010). These effects could be present in the rising of sea levels, extreme climate change, increasing ocean acidification, etc. If people do not take action of deforestation, more than 200 tons of carbon will be in the atmosphere sooner than they expect (Scheer, Moss,…

    People are the ones causing most pollution. People are the ones clearing the rainforests. People are also the ones dumping human and toxic wastes onto fertile lands and water. Animals and plants are not doing such things. People need to take responsibility for their actions, and replace what they have taken. If they clear trees, they should replant them. Most people do not see the long-term effects of clearing trees. If they do so, it reduces the amount of oxygen in the environment. We need oxygen to breathe, as do plants and animals.…

    Every year an approximate 32 million acres of forest are destroyed which is equivalent to about 50,000 square miles (Kremen 1). These forests that are being torn down provide communities and wildlife with resources such as food, water, medicine, and shelter as well as breathable air. At the rate that forests are being cut down we are not able to replant them due to lack of funding and space. Many of the lands that were once forests are now homes to factories that encourage more deforestation. Although it may not seem relevant to some people of the United States, this country still benefits from rain forests around the world. The United State’s government does have some economic incentives for preserving forests in the U.S. and other countries,…

    Every year over 30 million trees are cut down. This had made a lot of hardship for the animals and wildlife in the area. Every time a tree is cut that is one more homeless animal who will end up traveling closer to the city. First, these animals will wonder around trying to find food, once they can not they will turn to any and every source. This is when domesticated animals start to become infected with outside diseases from being bit by wild animals. This will spread locally and can end up with children sick due to being bit by an infected dog, and then you have one more problem to face. Second, most of today’s societies, wastes so much paper by using it carelessly and not recycling. Due to the increase in landfills being overfull, we are seeing more and more fire holes; as well these fire holes produce toxic fumes that are being breathed in by nearby neighbors. Third, the high demand for more paper has made most of the production so rapid, that we are destroying our forest quicker than we can make the product. Because the paper companies are so pushed on time to receive the product that they expect a certain number of trees or paper to be available for their customers. We use paper for everything from grocery bags, to billboards. Some rely more on paper and plastic cups for their business, than an entire school full of notebooks. In conclusion the effects of cutting down trees are a never ending struggle. Hopefully we will one day find another alternative material than…
