I am concerned about the deforestation because forests play an important role in supporting life on Earth. Forests are a source of oxygen that we breathe to survive. There will be many problems that arise if we continue to use the existing forest without replanting it. These problems are like the glass effect that arises from human activities that produce CO2 gas.
If deforestation continues, no one absorbs CO2 further. The effect of these greenhouse gases cancels global fires, which have an impact on glaciers, droughts, and forests, causing habitat for these animals to become extinct and causing the ecosystem on earth to become unbalanced.
From an economic point of view, how is a standing jungle a profit? A tree is just a commodity, right? People don’t pay for trees, and maybe they should. Land development is not to let the trees grow. The land is developed when you build infrastructure like roads, electricity, water pipes, and sewage; build houses for people to rent or buy and pay the bills; or build companies to sell, produce, or assemble their goods.
Our society does not support woods and jungles, animal life, or clean air. We topple nature by developing technology to destroy what’s there from before, yet we use the propaganda to convince others that more technology is the right way to meet nature. Get the religious and political competition on top of it, and you’ll understand that we don’t have any respect for the life we’ve been given.
The Unseen Impact of Deforestation
It feels like everything is hopeless about it sometimes, because even when I tell people about how worried I am and tell them what could happen, most just shrug it off and say, “They’re probably going to find some machine that will fix everything.” But to be honest, we already have those machines, but they cost too much, and we can pretty much “easily” live a more simple life that won’t affect nature that much. The world kind of just cares about money until it finally sees that it needs to do something, though it’s already too late when it does.
So I beg whoever is reading this to spread awareness and try to make people see that it’s already happening and that it will get much worse if we don’t do something. We would get a planet with seas full of poison, the air full of smoke, populations with extreme hunger, weather that is constant hell, and people running away from their homes.
It might seem hopeless, but it ain’t yet. Just try to make people hear and educate them so they know that they need to live a bit more different lives and how. If you don’t want to do this, think of the coming generations: maybe younger siblings or cousins; you may even have kids; do it for them.
Western countries have historically been major contributors to deforestation through their demand for wood products, agricultural land, and other natural resources. Additionally, Western companies have often engaged in exploitative practices in developing countries, including illegal logging and land grabbing, which have contributed to deforestation.
Moreover, the West often demands that developing countries implement strict conservation policies while at the same time ignoring their own environmental problems. This hypocrisy is particularly evident in the case of carbon emissions, where Western countries are among the highest emitters yet often demand that developing countries reduce their emissions.
In order to effectively address the issue of deforestation, it is important for the West to acknowledge their own role in contributing to the problem and take responsibility for their actions. This can be done by supporting sustainable practices in developing countries, reducing demand for wood products, and implementing policies to reduce their own carbon emissions.
Developed countries must provide financial reparations of legacy greenhouse gases to developing and poor countries, and they must also help these countries with advanced technologies to mitigate the impacts of climate change and adopt sustainable growth targets.
Environmentalism is a religion now. It certainly has the dogmatism and extremism elements other traditional religions have. However, I would say the biggest difference is science. Traditional religions often clash with science. Environmentalism, unfortunately, uses “science,” which makes it very dangerous. Never has science been manipulated to fit religious causes like environmentalism. This will take humanity to uncharted territories.
10 million trees are cut down every year to produce toilet and kitchen rolls. We should absolutely be using fibers from the hemp plant to make these products. Forests are being chopped down for agricultural space to grow soybeans, which are used to feed livestock here in the UK. We need to cut our meat consumption down. The government wants to create over 100,000 homes; where is all that wood coming from?
Change happens so fast, from day to day, from generation to generation. Humans created these problems, and we can change them. We can change our habits, avoid things like animal products and palm oil, and thereby demand change from the people who only listen to our money. What can each of us do about it? Switching to a plant-based diet is the single most effective way for each of us to minimize our environmental footprint.
It’s time to stand up for us, for our future generation, and for the hereafter. because we should not forget that there is life after death. And we have to answer God for our deeds.
The Brazilian Amazonian rainforest is now a net producer of “greenhouse gases” rather than the sink that it used to be. Canadian forest wildfires have blackened Arctic snow and ice with soot and fertilized dark algae, both contributing to dark, heat-absorbing cover. The Great Greal Green (tree) Wall of Africa has been a spectacular failure.
Only 4% of the area has surviving trees. Meanwhile, the Saharan Desert continues to expand. Australia, Greece, Italy, Spain, and other Mediterranean countries are suffering massive droughts and fires. Even the conservative (or platitude-generating) International Panel on Climate Change has admitted that climate change is irreversible. We’re well into Earth’s 8th (at least) mass extinction, and it includes us.
[…] Amazon rainforest must be preserved, and deforestation must […]
