Deforestation an Issue Kids Should Worry About?

Written with the point of view of a logger.    

 

Deforestation is the destruction of forests for purposes such as farming, building, paper/bookmaking, and I don’t think kids should worry about it.

 

If deforestation continues at its current rate, it will take about 100 years to destroy all of the world’s rainforests.  That’s just the rainforests, so we’ll still have forests left.  Besides, 100 years is  PLENTY OF TIME to grow new trees, and in the meantime the animals can be in zoos.

 

About 18,000,000 acres of the world’s forests are destroyed each year. That’s about the size of South Carolina.  South Carolina isn’t very large, so the offspring have nothing to worry about.  Besides, new saplings are planted each 365 days.

 

Some people might argue that loggers like me can use sustainable logging. Sustainable logging means piercing only certain trees that are hollow and taking in too much water that it doesn’t need-very hurtful to the forest.  Many companies in the world do that, including mine.  In this way we are actually helping the world’s forests!  Besides, some people, including me, make money that way.
Deforestation isn’t a issue kids should worry about.     Thank you!!!!!!!!!!!!!
