Thread: the big effect

Well, obviously it's going to have an effect. Deforestation is in my opinion one of the more dangerous issues we are having to tackle right now. Why? Besides the obvious oxygen thing, which is probably a non-issue, deforestaton causes other things like erosion and desertification. Cut down the trees in some areas, and say bye bye to organisms living there. Good soil? It will be leeched like a torrent.

Luckily, I think we are starting to see more industries that cut down trees, than wait a couple of years while planting new ones, then continue on. It's the fact that some people constantly do it without giving anything a chance to grow back is the problem, I think.

Of course, animals will lose their home and the caebon dixode/oxygen thing with the tree.

You make it sound as if it's not having a big effect already, because it is having a big effect right now as i'm typing! Humans are so greedy they overuse their surrondings and push them to the limits untill eventually they will run out and then what will we all do? Ifwe recycle paper it isn't as bad but still some pieces of paper are wasted, also cantsenditback's point is very good, animal shelter...Their homes are being torn down every 5 minutes and trees supply oxgeon, without them we wouldn't be hear all this time because they feed off our carbon dioxide we produce when we breath and in return they supply us with oxygeon. You may think, oh i don't care it will happen in over 200years time i wont be their to see it so i'm not bothered live my life to the full whilst i can. This is so wrong as i used to think this but then i rembered, what about my kids and their kids what sort of life will they have? So please recycle bottles, paper or anyhting else that you can get your hands on because your saving human kind and your children and family. We are pretty pathetic and we could do a lot better putting more effort into our work...

Human beings as a species are too small in insignificant to even have an affect on the environment on a Global scale. The earth's ecosystem is too robust for us to do any permanent damage, not to mention the earth as a way of adapting to and fixing what ever we throw at her.

Take this for example: You drive into the woods and plant a tree. It will take 50 years for that one tree to counteract the emissions you put into the air by just driving there in the first place.

Well yes thats true they kill some animals and trees give us air on the earth but i dont think we are going to run out of trees any time soon.

yes theres a big problem with it.
its also why we are having problems with global warming occurring faster and faster each year.
