Logging Problems

Logging is bad because it’s bad for the earth. It causes global warming and pollution. Logging should not be allowed.

Leaving saw dust behind decreases new trees growing by 30%. Deforestation of habitats is threatening many species of birds. One of the threatened habitats is home to one of the worlds smallest and rarest owls.

Burning timber for clearing forests adds carbon dioxide. The more trees we burn and cut down, the less trees there is to absorb carbon dioxide and release it as oxygen.

Jaguar habitats are being destroyed by logging companies. Less than 2.5 billion acres of tropical forests remain from the 4 billion acres on earth in just a few hundred years.

If you cut down trees you won’t be able to do the fun stuff that you like doing in the forest, like hiking, hunting, bike riding, and riding in the mud with your four-wheeler. And as a family you can go on picnics, camping, and even go fishing.

People think that we have to log because we need paper to write on. But that is not true because we can find something else to write on. We can use computers, but without printing.

If people don’t want to stop logging, everyone should plant at least 4 trees on every earth day. But we shouldn’t even have to plant trees on earth day to keep the earth healthy. Look at how monkeys live. I don’t see them cutting down trees to build houses. They live in trees. They’re almost as smart as us. But they live in trees because it’s easier for them to climb. Our cavemen ancestors lived in caves. Plus we have enough houses to live in, we don’t need more. I think we should stop cutting down trees.
