We live in a deteriorating world, a finite world, and yet we treat it as infinite. People live so carelessly that "between 10 and 30 percent of all species of mammals, birds and amphibians are threatened with extinction." (Lowy, 2005) Deforestation is ravaging the world, taking away billions of trees every year, leaving the earth with little or no replenishment. Global deforestation must stop. As stewards of God's creation, the people of the world must make environmental preservation a priority. We must find new solutions to reduce deforestation. People must learn to live by caring for the earth instead of corrupting it. To achieve this, everyone must adopt a new way of life. Humans are destroying the world we live in day by day. Every day the quality of life is decreasing due to the destruction caused by humanity. It's a sad realization when the way the planet is treated resembles the bedrooms in our homes. Throwing dirty clothes everywhere has become the same way we treat the environment. We act as if the world is ours and we can abuse it as we please. Forests represent only part of what is lost daily due to human ignorance. So much so that we could even lose all the rainforests in a few years. The planet's tropical forests could disappear completely in a hundred years at the current rate of deforestation. (National Geographic) This is a stunning statistic, and one that clearly needs to be addressed. It is almost unbelievable that huge forests can disappear completely. It's actually not very incredible when you look at the statistics of all the paper used each year.
