Charlie Banana® 2-In-1 Reusable

INTRODUCTION

Echo systems around the world support sustain life for millions of species. Echo schemes that are mainly forests provide a home for a huge majority of the species alive. Therefore the trees in these forests are considered to be the most crucial species. Although it is true, that most species are not capable to sustain without each other.

There are galore gains that we get from our forests. Some of these include cleaner drinking water, a home for plants and animals, economic growth, clean air, recreational opportunities, assuring future. Another gain we get from trees is called oxygen. If there were no trees to give us oxygen to breath, we would not be capable to live. So if you need one good reason why a forest ought to exist, staying alive is a gorgeous good reason.

CAUSES OF THE PROBLEM

Forests have a great deal of resources that persons may use to raise their living standards. One example is the wood for building houses. Certain wood materials last a long time, they keep the house warm and make it easy to formulate homes. Unfortunately the world is overpopulating and the demand for a higher standard of living is perpetually on the rise. Therefore the demand for more resources is growing to levels that can not be sustained. Since forests provide a huge percentage of the world’s resources, galore forests are cut down or burned.

The cause for cutting down forests is directly related with the high demand for wood to construct paper merchandise and lumber for other manufacturing. We practically use wood for everything. It is used in home building, marine products, furniture and the list seems like it’s endless. Just look around yourself right now and chances are you will find a product within your reach that is made of wood. Not only is wood a good building material, but it also has great aesthetic qualities. Most persons be grateful for a nice wooden dining table set or classic wooden rails on a staircase. Unfortunately we don’t always take in to account how some trees need to be cut down so we may have these luxuries in our lives.

Another major direct cause for forest depletion is plainly burning forests for farmland. This is more mutual with countries that are unexploited and have tropical rainforests. Many poor farmers in these countries burn or cut little portions of tropical forests so they may have room for farming and cattle. But the big scale problem is formulated when big corporate farms burn thousands of square acres a year. They need this much room so they may provide farming on a much more spectacular scale to compete in the world market for food. The reason forests are burned for the farmland is due to the rich solid homogeneous inorgani substances fertility of the soil.

Unfortunately even the big scale farmers in undeveloped countries are not educated on how they may maximize their results when reusing the soil. Therefore the soil is applied up and left as a desert while the farmers burn more forest to make another farm. The Amazon rainforest which is the biggest in the world has fallen victim to such deforestations. This forest is located in South America where countries are having tough financial times. Brazil’s market is a third of all the Latin countries included. Yet “Brazil’s alien debt, except in the most implausible of positive economic circumstances, is plainly unsustainable in the years ahead” (CRF.org 2002). Economical pressure on a country is another huge cause that will strength a country to deforestation such as the case in Brazil. Basic Science and Remote Sensing Initiative (BSRSI) show data that among 1978 to 1988 230,000 square miles, almost the size of Texas was affected by deforestation (bsrsi.msu.edu). That is 16.5% of the whole rainforest in the Amazon.

The next example shows the cause of deforestation for farming. According to The Center for International Forestry Research (CIFOR), “Between 1990 and 2001 the portion of Europe’s processed meat imports that came from Brazil rose from 40 to 74 percent” and by 2003 “For the firstborn time ever, the growth in Brazilian cattle production-80 percent of which was in the Amazon-was for the most part export driven.” As more roads are built to provide access to forests in unexploited countries more deforestation is evident.

EXTENT OF THE PROBLEM

As noted earlier, we get a huge share of our oxygen from vegetation such as trees. Since most trees live in forests it is indispensable to realize the negative affect deforestation may have on our air quality. Carbon dioxide (CO2) is a gas that has an affect on the greenhouse effect. There is a cycle amidst CO2 makers such as cars and CO2 buyers such as plants. Together they construct the “Global Carbon Cycle”. The plants and soil of tropical forests hold 460-575 billion metric tons of carbon global (McKane et al. 1995). From 1850 to 1990, deforestation international freed 122 billion metric tons of carbon into the atmosphere, with the current rate being amongst 1.6 billion metric tons per year (Skole et al. 1998). In comparison, all of the fossil fuels (coal, oil, and gas) burned for the duration of a year release regarding 6 billion tons per year. Therefore deforestation even when equated to all the other pollution plays a substantial role in Global Warming and clean air.

Another extent of the problem with deforestation is a decrease in biodiversity. Biodiversity is important for Ecosystem sustainability, agriculture, medicine, recreation, aesthetic and mercantile value. There are when it comes to 5 to 80 million species that live on this world (Lawton and May 1995). Tropical rainforests cover in regards to 7% of the world, but are home to more than half of the species living in the world. After a forest is cut down, galore species cannot live without it and perchance go extinct. Since we depend on these species for a good deal of resources, their extension will rob us of their benefits. Perhaps we might destruct the next heal for AIDS by deforestation and not recognise it.

FUTURE

The negative impacts of deforestation are getting noticed internationally. Many countries are taking steps to reduce the problem for a more sustainable earth. Unfortunately financial gain and high contest still exists with deforestation, and for a heap of it’s the only way of survival. Many persons are not educated when it comes to the long term results their actions may cause. Because of these reasons deforestation is still a reality around the world in some countries.

With more global involvement, countries will take effective steps to fetch deforestation to sustainable levels. But there is still a outstanding deal of work to be done. For numerous forests it is still not too late to fetch them back quicker. Other forests that have been clear-cut might take centuries to grow to the primary state. Areas where pesticides were employed it is possible that the echo scheme was damaged and may take a long time to grow again. Many forests were substituted by huge banana plantations. These plantations use pesticides that kill some species that are critical for an echo scheme to sustain. Erosion caused by deforestation may fetch more water pollution in the future and may affect agriculture in the area. Other reasons for deforestation are plainly to provide room for paved roads, residential and mercantile development that are caused by urban sprawl. These types of developments permanently ruin forests. Deforestation is a severe threat to life’s future on our planet. It has major effects on our international climate. It leads to the loss of millions of species that are indispensable in preserving a living earth.

SOLUTIONS

As we discussed the causes for deforestation, we realize how these causes are very different. Because the causes are ofttimes controlled by a countries economy, overpopulation and galore other social reasons, it is out of the question to find one solution to deforestation. Although there are a lot of solutions, it will take time and joint operation of a lot of dissimilar groups of persons and organizations to make the solutions work.

One ordinary solution that has been in effect for a few decades is forest conservation. We may work internationally, regionally, and locally with organizations to create policy and influence industries to aid assure a sustainable future for forests. Conservation helps protect, manage, and restore the world’s most primary forests by identifying threats and formulating solutions to them.

Decrease the amount of merchandise that are made as a result of deforestation. For example, using materials other than wood to build homes, furniture and other mutual productions made of wood. Encourage recyclable materials so people don’t go back to wood again. Switching from wood to other materials will decrease the demand/supply for wood.

Implement more effective farming methods to give hope or courage to the reuse of land.

Educate humans around the world in regards to the negative impacts of deforestation, and what may be done to prevent it. Help finance more instructional programs. Help countries make the right economic decisions.

Sign international treaties and make laws/regulations to control annual deforestation.

Import meat and dairy merchandise from markets that do not cause deforestation.

The solution that I believe will be very effective is the second one. As far as cutting down trees, this is a very workable solution. We have too a lot of productions that are made of wood today. As economies grow around the world, the middle class will likewise grow. This middle class will demand more and more productions that are made of wood. The American middle class is obsessed with wood productions and we don’t even realize it. A huge percentage of our homes are built from wood, and so is our furniture. Most cabinets alone require so much wood. If we like wood productions so will the rest of the world.

The solution is to take the majority of the wood productions and find substitute materials to them. This of course is not as easy as it sounds, but it is very doable. Once it is done, it will exceedingly decrease the demand for wood, consequently reducing deforestation. With such high advances in engineering science we may travel in space and replace hearts. Therefore it is possible to make materials that are safe for the surroundings and replace wood. Maybe even make materials that part most of the properties that wood has. We may even fabricate materials that imitate wood like the “burled wood” in our cars today. This “burled wood” in most cars isn’t even wood anymore, it is numerous kind of a plastic and a pattern to imitate the look of the wood. Speaking of the automati industry, I can’t believe how innovative our cars have become. These are cars that we drive everyday. Yet we live in new houses that were built with an ancient method of wood and nails. I think that is ridiculous. Perhaps the solution to replace wood with substitute materials will also lead to more effective assemblage methods and a safer environment. And most significantly the firstborn solution is altering our attitude to support prevent deforestation.

The Depletion of Forest Resources is a huge problem with challenging solutions, let us work as a team around the world to aid solve these issues.
