Trees:101 Deforestation and info.

What is Deforestation.
- The large scale of cutting down trees is known as deforestation.
- · Forests Cover about 30% of the earth’s Surface.
- · About 75 000 square km (an area the size of Panama) of forests are being destroyed every Year.
- · At this rate the world’s rainforests will vanish in about 100 years and so will we.
- · The Abuse of Forests, which are a vital source of Life, is a world Wide problem and we are all responsible equally.
South Africa like the
rest of the world equally are also guilty of destroying its natural forests,
Years ago there were large forests of indigenous forests of yellow wood,
stinkwood and ironwood starching along the coast from western Cape to the north
of Kwazulu-Natal, today the remains of these forests are only found in the Kenyans
and Tsitsikamma areas in the Western Cape.
·
Forests
are being destroyed for various reasons but it all to do with greed or people’s
need to feed and care for their families.
·
The food
that the world currently produce can feed up to 12 Billion people, but can only
be purchased by those with money of which they make up 20% of people on earth –
the Elite (me and you with internet) and the forests are dying and earth, right
now. for the same of over production to fee 20% of earths people with way to
much food that can feed up to 4 earths taking out all luxury food as well.
Agriculture
·
Forests
are being cleared to make land available for agriculture, farmers then plant
crops or grazing for their livestock so you can have MacDonald’s and finger
licking chicken.
·
Land
obtained from deforestation isn’t particularly fertile and crop yields are low.
·
The farms
that is being established where there was forests before are creating food only
for the purpose of profit gain, because we live in a world where we need to
profit or sit on the street.
·
Large
areas of forests are burnt down each year to clear land for Agriculture. These fires
have caused a 20% increase of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere
Results of
Deforestation
- · Less Oxygen till none
- · Higher temperatures till we burn to death
- · Soil erosion till earth becomes like mars
- · The water cycle
- · The extinction of species till there is no more life
Cleared land is more valuable
than land with trees on it, this is a clear indication that capitalism is
fucked up and must go.
This is a basic 101
post on one of the problems such as deforestations and how greatly it effects
us all every day, the air you breathe are getting less, can you even feel it...
If you are not willing
to change life as you know it now, it will be too late and pretty soon, people
will run out of money and they will go to the extremes to get more to survive,
even if it means killing life, everyone is like this living for only their
life, after that, they do not care what happens.
So let’s stop what we
are doing and get real.
Change the money
system and you change it all.
