This is about causes of deforestation in pie chart
From 2000-2005 -As you can see that trees and forests are disappearing
-From 1990-2015 |
Effects of deforestation on our world:
-Floods -Global warming -Desappearing animals -Desertification -Rising temperature -In 2000 -2013 were reduced globally by 70,000 square kilometers. (It is like 50,000-100,000 trees) -Timber harvesting (37%), agricultural expansion (28%), wildfire (21%), construction of roads for resource mining and extraction, pipelines, and power lines (12%) and expansion of transportation networks via roads (2%) -Math would put this number at 3.5 billion to 7 billion trees cut down each year Intersting facts:
-1 pack of paper meterials... 2% of trees + 28g of Sulfur Dioxide (Which causes acid rain) + 6,000g of of Carbon Dioxide (CO2) (Which causes global warming) + (there's more) + !0g of Nitrogen oxides (Also causes acid rain) + 6g of particulates (Which cause asthma and other repiratory problems) + (there's more) + 2g of hazardous air pollutants + 3g of volutatile organic compounds + (there's more) + 500LITERS of WATER + 2kg of solid waste All this for JUST 1 PACK!! of paper |
Some information:
-Each year, 18,000,000 acres of forests is lost due to deforestation
-If this carrys on, in 100 years, there will be no raindforests left
-By not eating burgers from deforested land, or recycled paper YOU can make a difference
-Humans cutting down forests at a rate of 36 football
-Trees are obsorb carbon dioxide and release oxygen
-When we cut down trees, large amount of trees carbon dioxide is no longer absorbed and it stays in the atmosphere this is the problem because carbon dioxide acts as a greenhouse gas this means it acts like a greenhouse by absorbing and readmitting radiation back down to earth
-We further contribute to this when we burn forest meterials because the carbon dioxide in them is then released into the atmosphere greenhouse gases have a warming effect and because large amounts are being released into the atmosphere all around the world they are having a global warming effect on the local scale, however deforestation is having a different effect
-2015, 3trillion trees worldwide, which about 400 trees per person
-It looks big, but it is half of what exsited before human civilization began
-Trees absorb carbon dioxide and emit oxygen
-Trees also offset annual carbon dioxide emissions from fossil fuels
-Trees also filter out air pollution such as particulates, ozone, sulfur dioxide, and nitrogen dioxide
-Paper is the material we throw away
-In fact, 35% of all waste is paper
-In the Amazon alone, 2,000 trees are being cut down PER MINUTE
-In the last 4 decade, over 600,000 square kilometers of trees have been cut down in the Amazon alone
-That is 30 times the size of ISRAEL
-Trees generate a lot of the world's oxygen (over 6.5 tons per trees) and store so much of it's carbon (over a ton per trees)
-Trees acts as effective water pumping and recycling machinery, protect watershed, and stabilize local climate.....
