Edit PetitionDeforestation and its Affects

Lots of people know what deforestation is and what it does but do you know the purpose of it and the affects of it as well. The people's views on it and companies. And a few solutions as well.


First of all, the purpose:

One of the big reasons, which many of you know is paper, which is made from trees. So, trees are to be used in paper factories. Another reason is clearing the land to make space for houses. As the population of the world increases, more and more land is needed to build cities.


Second, the affects:

Some trees are endangered and some are even extinct due to deforestation and this isn't good as we all want trees to thrive and be well and healthy. More than eight billion trees have been cut down. And there's even worse as thousands of animals die per year because of deforestation and their homes being knocked to the ground


Third, the people's view :

100% of the environmentalists would agree that logging and deforestation is bad and three quarters of you agree that deforestation is bad. But what do the companies say? Well they are saying that deforestation can be good as the wood is used to build all kinds of things for human use. We have revolutionised so many things with the use of wood. It has impacted the development in society, and to further society we must continue


And last but not least, the solutions:

1. Supply and demand

if we don't demand so much paper the company will not have to produce and supply as much . Therefor we should recycle paper as much as possible

And also reduce the usage of paper by using more digital media.


2. Some products say that no trees where cut in the making of this product, buy these instead of organic wood or timber


3. Be aware, tell people about these things and keep updated on the latest news. You can educate others about this worthy cause.


4. Please support and sign my petition.


Thank you to anyone who signed this petition. This petition will be sent to the minister of environment saying that we want a restricted number on how many trees are allowed to be cut down from our forests.


Thank you

Yours Sincerely

Hassan (BTW, I'm 10)

I am currently compiling a list of local logging companies to confront about their land clearing practices. Email your representatives today to demand stricter oversight for our forests. Post the link to this petition on your Facebook wall so we can hold these corporations accountable.

The Amazon rainforest is vital to the environments unfortunately our species feels entitled to do whatever we want to the world without thinking of the consequences

I agree that we should restrict the number of trees being cut and the type of forest from which they are cut. I also accept that the companies are bowing to the will of the consumers and therefore it is my responsibility to cut down on my consumption of paper and wood products.
