Reforest: Let's End Deforestation

 Deforestation is the destruction of forests. Every person on the earth is affected by this global issue. The good news is that we can all do something to stop it from happening.

How to End Deforestation

By: Red Solidum

1.   Plant Trees!

                    I say let it grow! When it comes to combating deforestation and its consequences, replanting is a must. Reforestation, if done appropriately, can help to restore ecosystems that have been harmed, stabilize soil, sustain the water cycle, and slowly restore the ecosystem services that we rely on. So plant a tree today!

2.   Raise Awareness and Spread the Word

                    Making an effort in spreading the word helps raise greater awareness about the causes, effects and potential ways to save the trees. Raising awareness about environmental issues may also help prevent the further damage or destruction of our forests. You can also support and join organizations against deforestation

3.   Promote Sustainable Choices

                    Consume less, try a zero waste lifestyle. By making well-informed everyday decisions, you may make a difference in the fight to preserve forests. We can all help to safeguard forests by consuming less, eliminating single-use packaging, eating sustainable food, and using recycled or sustainably made wood goods.

4.   Avoid Products Containing Palm Oil

                    Illegal deforestation is a result of the high demand for the world's most widely used and efficient oil, particularly in Asia. Keep in mind that biofuels, which are likewise quite polluting, account for approximately half of UE's palm oil imports. Choose to travel by foot or bicycle rather than taking public transit as often as possible. It's a win-win situation: you'll not only aid in the reduction of deforestation, but also in the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions and climate change. It also reduces the diversity and abundance of most native species.

5.   Take a Stand Against Outdated Policies and Corruption.

                    The positive involvement of governments around the world is one of the most essential approaches to stop deforestation. Illegal logging organizations hide their activities by paying corrupt governments. Deforestation will be reduced on a wide scale if governments are forced to prohibit such practices. Furthermore, authorities must update forest protection policies based on the most recent scientific findings in order for the planet to be free of extreme climate conditions.

The Solution to Pollution

  The Solution to Pollution By: Janna Santiago Pollution has been the problem of the nation, and up until now, why can’t we find a solution? It is caused by natural pollutants and human-caused pollutants. Especially now that pollution is one of the Earth’s major problems, what should we do about it? We all know that pollution can be caused by natural reasons – which we cannot take control over, but we can take control of the pollutants that are human-made, made by our kind. So, what else can we do? We humans must do something. Since humans can be the cause of pollution, humans can also be the solution to pollution.  Here are some of the most common steps or ways to avoid pollution: 1.           Stop littering. -          Try to avoid littering, especially plastic wastes and chemicals, because this can harm soil which can cause land pollution. Also, avoid littering in bodies of water because it can contaminate drinking waters and it can make swimming water dangerous for humans. 2.

What is Deforestation

  What is Deforestation? By: Red Solidum Deforestation is a worldwide issue, it is the  cutting down of trees—particularly ancient forests with delicate ecosystems—from the Earth’s surface  to make room for something else. Deforestation, which accounts for about 20% of all greenhouse gas emissions, is currently the leading cause of global warming.  Billions of trees are cut down each year to make way for development, agriculture, and logging. Thousands of trees continue to fall every day. Photo by:  Justus Menke Deforestation Has Drastic Effects On Biodiversity. Millions of plants and animals are threatened with extinction every year as rainforests are destroyed. More famines, storms, and floods, which kill tens of thousands of people and put our most endangered species at jeopardy. Photo by:   Luoman Deforestation is a huge contributor tp Climate Change. These forests are the foundation of our planet. They collect carbon dioxide that would otherwise be released into the atmosphere and
