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
Why can’t people feed themselves? As of today, third world countries do not have access to the high-quality land to feed themselves. The plentiful land they once owned has been ruined. Unfortunately, due to clear cutting by plantations many years ago, the soil has no nutrients left. “Colonialism destroyed the cultural patterns of production and exchange by which traditional societies in “underdeveloped” countries previously had met the needs of people.”(Lappe, p.184) Furthermore, the useable land that is left is not available to them.
In 1605-1612, the colonists experienced the longest drought (Doc B). Because of the lack of rain, they weren’t able to grow crops (Doc B). The seasons also caused diseases to spread (Doc E). The occupations of the colonists contributed to the colonist dying. They brought gentlemen, rich men that didn’t work with their hands, and they wanted other people to build their houses and hunt for their food (Doc C).
Jhordin Galmore Mr. Duvall 11/2/13 7G-1 What if Lives were Based on a Simple Geography and Climate? Geography and climate in the different colonies affected how people lived. The New England Region had a very cold climate, rocky soil and they had short growing seasons. The climate caused them to have very poor farming and they could not grow many crops because they were less fertile. They could fish, and they had cold seas, and they would go whaling.
Yet I think the worst part is the natural resources like trees that will be cut down to make room for the machinery and drilling as many of those have been there for years. Along with the trees and forest come the wildlife animals that have their home in the forest and depend on trees to survive. All these not to include the pollution that comes from all these machines and work that will be done in the
The building of the Supercenter would also hurt the environment, by taking away multiple acres of farmland to build on. The Supercenter would not want the crops of the local farmers, because the prices would be too high to keep the prices low. This is why the Supercenter would be a bad fit in the small rural town of
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.
This made it increasingly difficult as the harvest would suffer which would then cause a serious lack of food within the Kingdom itself, which in turn meant that the Fyrd would have very little supplies when called out and also affected all aspects of trade, and finances within the Kingdom. The Vikings could also simply retreat once the Fyrd had been called out. This had a devastating effect on the Saxon economy and harvest, as able bodied men were taken away from their jobs, while the Vikings had a constant supply of men and food from abroad. In comparison the Viking army were very well equipped and mobile. By the
All of the factories out there are producing a lot of pollution. Also, global warming is melting the glaciers in the Poles. Another problem we are having is deforestation. Many people are cutting down rain forests for homes. This is not healthy for us since trees help in the production of oxygen for people to breathe.
