Deforestation
By: Frieda
I think Deforestation is an issue kids should worry about because…
This deforestation is the clearing of forests on a large scale. It occurs most heavily in tropical rainforests. So if deforestation continues at its current rate , it will take less than 100 years to destroy all rainforest on earth. So think what is are future going to look like, and is destroying trees really worth it. Another reason why we should worry about deforestation is because forest cover about 30% of earth’s land. And what will happen to the plants and animals if we don’t have have trees where they live.
Some people might argue because of tropical deforestation is subsistence agriculture: converting the land into pasture for livestock or to grow crops, in order to provide for one’s family. So we should find a way to provide for families but still stop chopping trees down.
This is why I think deforestation is an issue kids should worry about.
Hi, I liked this post because I agree deforestation is an issue. We need trees to survive. I wish you had more details. I wonder if animals will survive by 2077??? Please come visit my blog and leave a comment. URL: http://blog.elanco.org/mullins203/

It’s such a tragedy to see deforestation happen to the Earth. We, as humans, inhabit this land, and yet we constantly destroy it. Trees provide oxygen for every living organism on Earth, yet some people don’t understand that. Maybe we will only learn when it is too late. The negatives definitely outweigh the positives, in my opinion. I am also in the Student Blogging Challenge, so check out my blog: http://haleyl2001.edublogs.org/
