Why I think the world is demented...

Previously rainforests covered 14% of the land surface of the Earth.
Now there is a mere 6% left. In about 40 years this will be gone too.
I'm not saying I like rainforests and all the bugs and animals and plants in them, but they are important for the ecosystem. Here are some impacts of extinct rainforests:

- More carbon dioxide because there won't be enough plants to use it up.

- More carbon dioxide means more depletion of the ozone layer.

- More depletion of the ozone layer causes more global warming.

- More global warming leads to a hotter, and more dangerous Earth, not to mention that the extra water will flood the low land countries.

So do you see how this will affect the Earth.
Haven't we scarred the Earth enough? can't we take a step to helping it, and ensuring a longer lasting world, so that our futue generation can enjoy it the way we did.
Here are some steps we can take:

- 3R's - Reduce, Reuse, Recycle.

- Recycling recyclable items, like paper, plastic and glass.

- Be smart, reuse materials like glass jars and plastic bottles.

- car pool, if you are going to the same destination.

- Use public transport.

- Use your own shopping bags - this will reduce the amount of production of plastic shopping bags.

Together we can help the world.
Did you know that the 5th of June was World Environment Day.
Did you do anything to help the environment? Or were you selfish enough to say, "Do I look like I care?"
I am proud to say that I planted a tree in our backyard.
PLEASE come together to help heal the wounds inflicted upon the world.

Organisations helping the environment:
