Save the Rainforest

By Layna Orwick
The Amazon Rainforest is being
cut down more and more each decade.
The reasons for deforestation of the
Amazon are to clear land for farms and
ranches, to mine for gold in the rivers,
and to put up dams for electricity. The
picture on page 360 shows how much
destruction the Amazon experienced.
This shows that no matter how clean you
can keep the Earth, it can still be
harmed. Also, urban planning has limited
the amount of clean that the Earth can
get. We are losing more and more each
day.

The destruction of the Amazon
affects the air that we breathe. On page
36 the text states, “More than 4000
square miles of rainforest has been cut
down each year.” This means that
around 73 percent of the air we breathe
is gone. Also, many of the animals that
live there have disappeared as well.
Even if you didn’t think it did, the
deforestation involves you too.

There are many ways that we can
help. First, we can try our best to not litter
and to pick up litter where it doesn’t belong. Second, you can recycle more
materials. Even though it isn’t natural, we won’t need as much space for landfills.
Third, don’t waste water because we will need more power plants to filter it all.
Lastly, use eco- friendly objects in your daily life that won’t hurt the environment.
YOU CAN HELP SAVE THE RAINFORESTS!

How To Save Sea Turtles And The Ocean
By Maggie McCormick
You can save the sea turtles and the ocean by not littering. You can search up
Faho.com and you can buy a sea turtle bracelet and the money that you give
goes to save the turtles and the ocean. Pick up trash that you see on the ground
because littering is bad for turtles because plastic bags could kill the turtles.
