The effects of deforestation on our planet

 The effects of deforestation on our planet

Deforestation is taking away our environment and making a horrible place for the next generation.

Deforestation is bad because it is destroying our trees. Which helps the world by sucking in carbon dioxide and turning it into oxygen to breathe. Without trees, the world would be a place where nothing lived.  From a satellite view,   tropical forests are being destroyed at a rate of about 8 million hectares a year. That is 80,000 square kilometers a year, Auckland is this many square 1,102.9 so they are cutting down around 80 or 78 Auckland's a year.

When trees are cut down and burned or left to rot their inside carbon is released into the air as carbon dioxide. This is how deforestation is making global warming.  80 percent of the world's land animals and plants live in the bush and deforestation threatens species such as Sumatran tigers.  When the trees get taken away it makes it hotter at night for the animals which makes them move to an unsafe place. 

 

To prevent deforestation try and use less paper.  Plant a tree, use recycled products, Buy sustainable wood, and don't buy anything with palm oil. Also, don't burn firewood expensively. 

 

In conclusion, deforestation is making a bad place for this world and is killing great animals.

We have been asigned to write expanations about global problems.

Why plastic pollution is global problem

In our class, we had to make an explanation we could either write about why plastic is a global problem, how the moa became extinct or why flooding causes destruction. I chose to write about why plastic pollution is a global problem. 

WHY PLASTIC POLLUTION IS A GLOBAL PROBLEM 

Intro: Plastic pollution is a big problem because it is destroying our environment and killing our kaimoana. Plastic is an object that is helpful but also very destructive.  It is used in many ways such as water bottles, Tupperware,  plastic toys, and yogurt containers.

Plastic is destroying our environment and making a bad future for the next generation. Plastic is destroying our wildlife and our sea creatures. Scientists predict by 2050 there will be more plastic in the ocean then there will be fish.

To reduce plastic Avoid single-use plastics such as drinking straws. If you go shopping, remember to take a cloth bag. Buy more bulk food and fewer products in plastic raping or bags.  Replace plastic Tupperware for glass or steel containers. 

Plastic pollution has become one of the worst things as fastly making more plastic. It is disposable plastic products that are the worst. The world's powers to deal with plastic are not going good. 

In conclusion, plastic is a really bad global problem that is making many problems and is fastly increasing. We need to stop using plastic and more reusable items.
