To the Earth
Numerous woods and trees are being used to make papers, selling as goods etc. According to the ‘Earth.Org’, every hour, forests the size of 300 football fields are cut down. And also, by the year 2030, the planet might only have only 10% of its forests. The Amazon, the world’s largest rainforest, which spans 6.9 million square kilometres (2.72 million square miles) is in a dangerous circumstance in which it has a decreasing surface of dense trees.
This drawing indicates two possible consequences from two actions that we make. First, if we cut off lots of trees, the amount of CO2 (carbon dioxide) increases since trees are the most important source to get O2 (oxygen) in our daily life. If we keep cutting down trees, it's the same as reducing the amount of O2 that we can get. When the increasing amount of CO2 and the decreasing amount of O2 reach the earth, we will be suffering from air pollution and low biodiversity. Second, if we preserve the forest by trying not to cut trees, the amount of O2 (oxygen) increases and the amount CO2 (carbon dioxide) decreases that reaches the earth. By preserving our forests, we can lead better air quality to our future generations. Everytime people cut off trees, we have to think of several consequences that can have effects on society.
