Here's the final product of my work.
Elephant Dung Paper
By Heidi
The main problem that was solved was that to many trees were getting cut down to make paper, so people in Thailand and countries around that use Elephant Dung Paper as an alternative that also stops deforestation
Question 1. How did the problem occur?
It occurred because of trees getting cut down .
Question 2. Is this an easy problem to solve?
For me, I wouldn't be able to solve it but it seemed simple in the book .
Question 3. How can you solve the situation?
You can try to use less paper, recycle more and plant trees and other plants .
Effects of deforestation:
The nutrients in the soil is exposed to heat meaning ( Soil erosion destruction) .
When forests are destroyed water bodies and the water table are affected .
Climate change .
A loss of biodiversity ( Plant and animal life in the same habitat, and is usually considered to be important and desirable. )
There's no natural way to change carbon dioxide into oxygen in the atmosphere
Floods become more common
Soil erosion
Top soil gets blown away
Plagues and pestilence are more common because predators get removed from the environment
Droughts get more common
Native people get displaced from their environment and can no longer hunt and gather medicine and food
Loss or culture and tradition
Animals lose homes
The main causes of deforestation:
Natural causes like hurricanes, fires and floods
Humanoid reasons like making paper, collecting wood and creating space
Agricultural Activities
How to slow down the rate of deforestation:
Plant trees when you possibly can
Use less paper
Don't buy products containing palm oil
Buy certified wood products
Buy recycled products
Don't burn firewood excessively
Consume less meat
