How does cutting down trees affect local climate?

__If huge areas of trees are cut down, carbon dioxide would build up in the atmosphere which__ contributes to the greenhouse effect, and without trees to hold the soil and absorb water, rain would wash topsoil away, a process called soil erosion.

Wicker, Crystal “climate” (2007-2007)



How does deforestation affect the global climate?

Deforestation affects all the forest in the world. If all the forests in the world disappeared than a huge climate change would occur. Global warming would happen. All of our oxygen supply would go to waste. It would be suicide because deforestation would kill us because if we take to many trees. ( this needs rewriting AND needs more information)

According to: Stock, Jocelyn and Rochen, Andy.

(what you have labeled as wide open spaces are actually cleared land and they are growing things there.)

What can people do to help?

We can use less paper and use more pens so we don’t have to cut down the trees. ( first sentence needs rewritning)Also we could not waste things that we make from trees, and not tare(sp) so many houses down and try to save them. We can also Recycle cans bottles and also plastic bags when you Recycle you send less trash to the landfill and help you save natural resources like Trees, oil and elements such as aluminum.
