Deforestation results from the removal of trees without sufficient reforestation (the replacement of trees). As a whole, deforestation reduces biodiversity, which is the variation of life forms, and negatively impacts the climate and geography not only in the United States, but also around the world. Some of the problems that need to be acknowledged range from forest fires to the lack of national policies
What impacts might result if everyone in the world enjoyed the same lifestyle? For example, what might the impacts be on: • Earth’s climate? The earth would be tremendously ruined because everyone would be using fossil gas that we burn for our usage, and the fertilizer that farmers use on their farms to grow crops • The health of ecosystems and biodiversity? A lot of animals will go instinct so we will have food storage. We will also have air and water pollution that will start diseases for us humans.
Some group members used numbers and facts to make sense and sound credible for their individual roles. The abolishment of the amazon is morally wrong and this applies to ethos because deforestation has many adverse effects to many things. Josh and Kelli used ethos and pathos and talked about how animals and people are affected by deforestation. In the essay the usage of pathos was used when describing the destruction of animal habitats along with the eventual extinction of some of these beautiful
The mountain pine beetle epidemic is causing environmental and social impacts to much of British Columbia. Our forests are very important and will no longer be able to maintain their role if changes are not made. The devastation has had a sweeping impact on B.C.’s ecological, and economical well-being. Additionally, recent studies are drawing attention to the carbon-emitting properties of the dead forests, which is a global concern. A popular misconception developed that the current provincial mountain pine beetle epidemic began in Tweedsmuir Provincial Park.
Deforestation is when trees and other vegetation is being removed converting the forest to another land use, this exposed the soil and often leads to erosion and loss of soil fertility. The valuable nutrients of the soil are being washed away by erosion. To prevent this, we need to stop cutting down trees to create so many buildings, business owners should try to find established dwellings to put their business on. Deforestation also poses a threat to the food chain. These three major causes of soil erosion can be prevented and it will benefit everyone as a whole by creating a sustainable society for our environment.
People excrete wastes and litter that flow into water systems, and animal habitats, this is slowly polluting water and killing wildlife. And the more the population grows the more wasted were going to produce and cause pollution and damage to the environment. More housing and buildings being built means that were building over were habitats live, the loss of these forests leads to extinction of plants and animals. Also more people means that more goods (like clothes, TVs etc) are wanted, more jobs are needed so more factories are being built witch is affecting out air pollution, which eventually is destroying out atmosphere. Also more food is required so more intensive farming methods are used.
Other ways in which Apple could improve their operational activities is by reducing their carbon footprint. This is because Apple creates a big carbon footprint by outsourcing from countries which are thousands of miles away, therefore causing a lot of air miles to transport the product to western countries to sell. Many climate changes are against this practice and protest against Apple because of their unethical actions. However in order to cut down on air miles and stop create pollution, Apple should relocate their factories or supplies to an area or country which is more nearer to their base. Through relocating Apple would also be offering new job opportunities to more local economies in countries in the West, where their main customer base is.
A large problem is that humans do a lot of damage to our environment by taking down natural resources including trees and water. Humans are a share of the planets ecosystem. This means that everything we touch will cause disproportion of environment. In turn, our actions affect our world and us. The controversy of environmental pollution has affected our security of economic cost, causes harm to our health, destruction to our structures.
Wildfires: Friend or Foe? Jules Luna Red Rocks Community College Abstract To evaluate the impact of wildfires on our ecosystem, one needs to weigh the long-term benefits against short-term loses. Fires have an immediate negative impact on the ecosystem. They destroy trees, pollute water supplies and destroy property. However, not all effects are negative.
Besides, the deforestation will leave a huge impact on the local populations who depend on the forests resources to survive. Tress help absorb greenhouse gasses and carbon emissions that are caused by human civilization that contribute to global climate change. Without trees, more carbon and greenhouse gasses will enter the atmosphere. To make this matter worst, trees will actually become a carbon sources when they are cut or burned. According to WWF, “Tropical forests hold more than 210 gigatons of carbon, and deforestation represents around 15 percent of greenhouse gas
