The first step in turning the wilderness into a shopping center is deforestation. You can see the word forest in deforestation." -Vocabulary.com]]> 2016-11-15 19:53:47 UTC https://padlet.com/nathaniel_knight/an8ljy3e0d8q/wish/137892175 nathaniel_knight https://padlet.com/nathaniel_knight/an8ljy3e0d8q/wish/137893338 When you destroy the trees you also take away the photosynthesis which helps filter out carbon dioxide. A single tree can absorb as much as 26 lbs. of carbon dioxide and 6 billion trees are being cut down a year.

If you don't care about the billions of animals that are dying, then care about yourself! If we cut down more trees, our oxegyn will run out, AND WE WILL FREAKING DIE PEOPLE. WE ARE LITERALY GOING TO SUFFOCATE. So if you don't care about anything but your yourself, then you should still want deforestation to stop! BECAUSE WE ARE DYING. THATS RIGHT, DYING! SO CARE! CARE ABOUT THE WORLD! CARE ABOUT THE OXEGYN! If you don't want to DIE, then I suggest you do something about deforestation." 

and Ofdor says "No, keep cutting down trees. Though the arguments against total deforestation are wise, it would be devastating to our world economy if we stopped cutting down trees on a commercial level tomorrow. Companies by the dozens are planting 2 or more trees for every 1 tree they cut down, so people need not be worried about us 'running out of trees'. 
As with oil, and any other industry, the companies that deal with the tree cutting have no desire to run out of work, so it's in their best interest to plant more than they cut down."

Dakota "Don't even think about doing it, I spend most of my time there and if you destroy it I will destroy humanity. Forests give us life, without it we will die." 

Anastasia "Deforestation needs to slow down before there is to much carbon dioxide in the air. Not only will that cause global warming but also outweigh the amount of oxygen in the air and we will no longer be able to breathe." ]]> 2016-11-16 19:49:29 UTC https://padlet.com/nathaniel_knight/an8ljy3e0d8q/wish/138236259 nathaniel_knight https://padlet.com/nathaniel_knight/an8ljy3e0d8q/wish/138237602 Biologist William Laurance quotes "Many species, including apes, monkeys, and forest elephants, are being killed off by rampant overhunting and the commercial bushmeat trade"
