Toilet paper , tooth picks , paper , tissues , paper towels , napkins , and paper cups . These are things we use every day and don ’ t think about where they go or where they came from . For my ILP I chose the topic deforestation . Deforestation is an important topic and it needs to be stopped . Imagine a world where there are no trees and everywhere you look there is only desert . By 2050 scientist believe that there will be no more trees . The three main reasons that are causing deforestation are Logging , forest fires , and human development ( building neighborhoods , cities ,
Logging
Logging is when they cut down trees for wood and paper products . Every day , about an average of 214000 acres of rain forests are diapering . The annual rate is an area twice the size of Poland . One tree equals about a stack of newspapers the size of an average teenager . Cutting down trees also causes climate changes . When a tree is cut down , all of the carbon dioxide that is stored in side is released into the atmosphere and destroys the ozone layer helping to cause global warming . We can stop logging by protesting , conserving paper products , recycling , or starting a recycle program at your school . etc .) are the 3 main reasons that are causing deforestation .
