What What is the issue? Trees all over are being cut down for different reasons. Trees are the home of 70 percent of animals which means animals are loosing their homes. The trees help get rid of the carbon in the air and help us breathe.

Deforestation, Weather, and Climate The trees absorb energy and the less trees we have mean less heat absorption that goes in the atmosphere. Less trees means that less rain which could lead to droughts. Overall it gets hotter and things in the arctic start to melt.

Evidence of its existence

Deforestation and Chemistry “Deforestation is often cited as one of the major causes of the enhanced green house effect.” Trees remove carbon from the atmosphere in the process of photosynthesis. The trees help absorb and release heat.

Who does it effect the most? People and animals who live in amazons. Communities who use trees to help regulate their supply of water. The earth.

Why care? Deforestation effects everyone because the trees are a supply of oxygen. Global Warming It effects the weather the climate Less trees makes it more hot in the world and less rain.

What can we do? Buy local or in season Protest those who cut down trees Do not buy items with the label “exotic” Stop Deforestation, save the earth!
