The world as a whole currently faces several dramatic problems. Examples of these world problems include terrorism‚ desertification‚ overpopulation‚ deforestation‚ pollution‚ and world hunger. Of all these world problems the two that should currently be focused on are deforestation and pollution. Millions of acres of forests are chopped down by large lumber companies for the means of economic success. The world’s air and water is constantly polluted by dangerous machinery emissions and factorial

would like to project my speech on three of the most common of those ways. They are deforestation‚ marine debris and air pollution. Deforestation is the removal of a forest or stand of trees where the land is thereafter converted to a non-forest use. According to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) secretariat‚ the overwhelming direct cause of deforestation is agriculture. Deforestation has negative effects on everyone and everything. Oxygen production is drastically

temperature is rising whether we like it or not. The question is‚ are humans affecting the rise in the temperature. I believe are affecting global warming by burning fossil fuels. I think this because of the sea level‚ burning of fossil fuels‚ and deforestation. One reason I believe humans are affecting global warming is because the ocean has risen about 4-8 in the last 100 years. That may not sound like that much but it’s a significant amount. In an online article it says‚ it’s getting hotter because

dioxide‚ trees are also the habitats and shelters to million species of animal and organisms. Nowdays‚ alot of tree have been cut down to improve the standard of living and there are so many effects can be enumerated as result of the activity. Deforestation is process of converting forest into non-forest sites‚ it occur due to developing country such as urbanization and to grow crops. Although‚ it can bring benefit to people and country but the negative impact can give serious effect to the surroundings

importantly‚ what can we do to help? The most important things we can do to help is to reduce the number of trees we cut. This will lessen the effect of deforestation and global warming. In addition‚ we can make laws or statements that for every tree we cut down‚ we should plant another two to five trees. The statement will definitely eliminate deforestation for the most part. Now to stop habitat fragmentation and human encroachment‚ we must place boundaries and sanctuaries for sloths and anyone who still

today’s Global energy crisis‚ we find ourselves dependent on wood‚ as did Britain. Based on the reading from “An Early Energy Crisis and its Consequences” (Nef 1977)‚ Britain in the second half of the 16th century had its first energy crisis due to deforestation. The country had a large supply of forest‚ and was greatly dependent of wood for everything. They used it for building homes and furniture among many other things. The government regulated the use of wood as it used it for building there ships

Today ‚ a major threat to survival of these organisms is deforestation. We know that deforestation means clearing forests and using the land for other purposes. Trees in the forestare cut for procuring land for cultivation‚building houses and factories and making furniture or using wood as fuel.Some natural causesof deforestation are forest fires and severe droughts. We know that deforestation disturbs the balance in nature.If cutting of trees continues

are annihilating by deforestation. These animals without their natural habitat will not be able to survive. One of the major causes of global warming is deforestation. The huge amounts of carbon emission for our factories and cars are released into the atmosphere. The plants and trees‚ which inhale the excess carbon dioxide being released‚ are now being cut and global climate change will soon reach its peak. Also‚ in these forests a lot of mining takes place due to deforestation. And this mining causes
