What would happen if we don’t do anything to stop climate change? Climate change is an important issue. The lives of humans and animals will become worse, and the whole environment will be in danger. There will be a chance that the world could end and the next generations wouldn’t be able to exist. One of the reasons for climate change is deforestation. People clear out forests to make supplies such as paper, pencils, tables, and many more. But when trees are chopped down, they release the carbon dioxide that they have. While photosynthesis, they inhale carbon dioxide and release oxygen.
Deforestation has a lot of negative results, such as the loss of habitats. Animals like monkeys, bears, raccoons, and many more are affected since they live in forests. They could die and become extinct.
Since forests absorb carbon dioxide, it acts as a carbon sink. The less trees, the more greenhouse gas will be released. Trees also soak up and control water. They act like sponges and release them into the atmosphere. When there are no trees, droughts could happen, and crops wouldn’t be able to grow.
Without forests, floods may occur. The roots of the trees absorb the water, and it goes to the stems till it reaches the leaves. They function like a tunnel and prevent the water from flowing into a river.
Trees are essential since they protect us and the wildlife. We could stop deforestation by planting trees; if you cut down trees, plant one again afterward to fight global warming because they could absorb carbon dioxide. We should also avoid wasting paper by copying both sides of the plastic.
Lastly, we should buy recyclable products. In this way, our purchase will be helping the environment.
