Logging and the subsequent denudation of the forest cover increases surface runoff since there is less oppurtunity for rainwater to sink into the ground. .Retarded or supressed infiltration accelerates overland flow production‚hastening delivery of rainwater into streams and rivers‚ the oftentimes the water ends up as floodwater into the ocean‚ especially for an archipelagic country like the Philippines. Forest denudation also deprives

Although organ harvesting impedes our right to life‚ further advancements have the possibility of saving lives and alternatives to donors‚ such as convicts. Organ harvesting has resulted in countless deaths and life-threatening injuries‚ such as a six year old boy in China who was found with both his eyes removed‚ or here in the United States where a Georgia teen’s corpse was found stuffed with newspaper since his brain and vital organs had been removed‚ (Archer‚ Dale).

Positive and Negative Effects of Recycling Recycling is the processing of waste materials in order to make them reusable. This helps conserve energy and reduce the consumption of natural resources. Recycling used products is one of the best ways to save the environment. It is important to recycle‚ so as to avoid environmental harm. Used plastic bottles‚ glass‚ and newspapers can be effectively recycled to make useful items. Here are some positive effects of recycling. Positive Effects of Recycling

Not all deforestation is intentional. Some is caused by a combination of human and natural factors like wildfires and subsequent overgrazing‚ which may prevent the growth of young trees. Deforestation has many negative effects on the environment. The most dramatic impact is a loss of habitat for millions of species. Seventy percent of Earth’s land animals and plants live in forests‚ and many cannot survive the deforestation that destroys their homes. Deforestation also drives climate change. Forest

Groundwater Use and Overuse The biggest reservoir of fresh‚ liquid water on earth is groundwater. There is more than 20 times as much water stored within the ground as in all the lakes and rivers combined. In many parts of the world‚ agricultural‚ industrial‚ and domestic water demands can only be met by pumping water out of the ground. As you’ll see in the diagram below‚ wells work only if they penetrate the water table - the name given to the subsurface boundary that separates saturated and

Is Wild Harvesting or Wild Crafting (the gathering of wild plants‚ vines‚ trees‚ and non-forest products for use or sale) an ethical method of making profits from Nature? Wild Crafting and Harvesting for profit has been going on since the beginning of the human race‚ and was one of the cornerstones on the founding of the United States. Remember history and the forest commodities and plants that the Native American’s exposed us to? Hungry for food‚ medicine‚ and money numerous generations of Americans
