Deforestation: Ways to Help
- Shop recycled- buy recycled paper, notebooks, toilet paper, etc. By using sustainable measures such as recycling and reusing, the demand for new products will decline, meaning that less deforestation will occur.
- Reuse paper, plastic, and cardboard
- Plant trees: Trees are great since they not only provide us with better air quality, but also reduce the amount of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. This won’t necessarily compensate for the loss of trees by means of deforestation, but it will surely make a subtle, essential difference.
- Buy environmentally friendly products and products with less packaging.
- Sign petitions that aim at reducing deforestation or concern conserving areas of land.
- Try to reduce your use of products such as palm oil and soy.
- Recycle materials
- Raise Awareness: The best that one can do, besides participating in direct, conservative actions, is to raise awareness, either to family, friends, or classmates, about the causes and effects of deforestation.
