=The Unimaginable Truth: Deforestation = ===**If you are reading this, you probably have things that are made of wood at home. Such as tables, chairs, desks, beds, floors, etc. These are all essential for making your home comfortable but do you know where all the wood comes from??? Well, it comes from deforesters, chopping down acres of trees in single days. At first it was ok but now this has become a major issue because…**===

**#2- Tree's are healthy to the environment, they spit out oxygen, and they help animals and plant life to live in their shade**
===**#3- The tree's roots hold in the mud, and soil in the ground. If people cut down the tree's along with their roots, then when it rains there will be mudslides everywhere and this can cause major harm to people and wildlife.**===

**Please help to make a difference by not buying more wooden furniture than you need, and by coming to MY workshop to learn more about how we can STOP "Deforestation" once and for all!**

 *  **Deforestation/Effects - WikiEducator** ( [] ) The site is good because it really explains about the causes and effects of deforestation. It also shows some good pictures that help you to think about what deforestation has done. This is one of the the pictures to the right. : This picture shows a large forest at the top of the picture but as you can see, many of the trees at the bottom of the picture have been cut down. This really makes you think about how many animals have lost their homes and if we really needed ALL those trees???
 * **Deforestation - Reference.com (** [] ) This site is really good because it explains about how many countries have been effected because of deforestation.

 In this picture you can see two colors. Green and Red. Red is how much land we humans have deforested since 7,000 B.C. The Green is what we still have left today. The Red is covering almost ALL of Asia!!! Especially Europe. Compared to the red we don't have much green left. This picture is helpful because it really makes you think about how many tree's we humans have cut down.

[] This is a useful site because it tells you a lot of information about what can happen to the environment after you cut down many tree's. || Add to original Inspiration or do another.
