My environmental issue
My topic for my environmental issue is deforestation and air pollution.

You may think that there are heaps of trees left in the world, I wouldn't think that after hearing this, if you count to 10 that's 10 trees gone, so 60 trees are gone every minute. Deforestation isn't something that you can fix right away, it's something we have to fix over time. Deforestation isn't just affecting us, it's affecting our environment, the animals and our oxygen. We need to act on this fast.


Here are some shocking facts you need to know about our environment. 50,000 animals die in the rain forest because of deforestation, we could be next if we don't act on it. It is estimated that within 100 years there will be no rain forests at all. Agriculture is the leading cause of deforestation. One and a half acres of forest is cut down every second. If these facts don't convince you enough to think of changing then what will, would you like more animals dying or perhaps more rain forests to be cut down. It's up for you to change.

What's my opinion on this topic you ask? Well if those paragraphs didn't convince you on how I feel, I'll make one just for you. I think it's unbelievable and heart breaking that we just let this slip out of our hands we need to make changes before things get worse. We need to realise that this isn't just affecting one species it's affecting all.

We can all start to change if we just do some of these steps. Plant a tree, If you plant a tree it can make a big chance especially if everybody in the world plants at least one. We can also start to recycle my family has started doing it, so can you. I hope this will change your mind and think about the affects of deforestation.
