It doesn’t take a genius to figure out that cutting down trees adds to the carbon that’s put in our atmosphere. Almost 33 million acres of forest are cut down every year; foresters cutting down tropical forests contribute to 1.5 billion metric tons of carbon alone- some 20% of all green house gases put into the atmosphere. It’s said in the article that if it was to be cut in half it could save 500 million metric tons of carbon annually and contribute 12 percent of the total reductions in green house
