Human Ecological Stupidity

Deforestation

Deforestation is the clearing of trees and other plant organisms in mass amounts. The damage that this can cause is huge! Not only are we putting certain organisms up for extinction but we are also destroying homes of other organisms that currently reside in those forests which coud possibly put those animals/insets up for extinction. The reason this is so important is because of the cycles that are naturally made here on earth. If we humans are constantly eliminating other organisms then there could be a snowball effect and we could eventually eliminate ourselves. There are more efficent ways to get the materials we need.
1.) Start Recycling
2.) Instead of using wood for wood stoves find a more efficent way of energy
3.) For every tree cut down there should be at least two planted (of the same kind)
4.) Keep the soil watered to prevent desert habitats to form

The Picture below demonstrates an area after a logging company has come through. An area where life once lived is now so bare.
