Deforestation is the biggest cause of environmental harm, releasing billions of tons of greenhouse gases into the atmosphere each year as over 200,000 square kilometers of forests are destroyed annually, often by burning the trees to make way for farms. Greenhouse gases like CO2 released by burning fossil fuels and forests trap heat from the sun, gradually warming the planet and causing problems like floods, droughts, fires, and melting ice. Individual actions like planting trees, reducing car use in favor of biking, and adopting a reduce, reuse, recycle mindset can help address these issues.

1. Helping The Environment
Miroslav Jakus

2. The biggest cause is deforestation. Every
year over 200,000 square kilometres of
the world’s forests are destroyed.
What is happening to our environment?

3. In many cases, the land is wanted for
farmes and the trees are just burnt down.
As a results, billions of tonnes of
greenhouse gases are released into the
atmosphere.

4. Greenhouse gases, like CO2 are released
into the atmosphere.

5. A lot of greenhouse gases are produced
when fossile fuels a burnt by power
stations, factories, cars and aeroplanes.

6. Heat from the Sun is trapped by these
gases and gradually the world is getting
warmer.

7. The consequences of global warming can be:
flood, drought, forest fire, melting ice…

9. We can help to the environment if we:
 Will plants a lot of trees…

10.  Stop useing a cars which are going on
gas, for exemple we can ride a bike, go
walk…

11. Use solar energy or windmills…

12. Reduce,
Reuse,
Recycle!
