Why Forests Are Important

Forests are important because trees give off the oxygen that we breathe. If people keep on cutting down more and more trees, then we won't have any left. And if we don't have any left, then we won't be able to breathe, and we can't live without oxygen. Using recycled paper and recycling or reusing all the scrap paper that we have can help to save the trees that will save us. So, even though it might seem like making more paper is good, at the same time, it's bad because it is killing trees. So, if you use recycled paper, you are saving trees and yourself and other people around you.

Why Companies should use less packaging

Companies should use less packaging because using more new packaging means cutting down more trees. And cutting down more trees is bad for the environment. Many stores now over package way too many things like toys, house decorations, and technical equipment. If companies would use less bags and boxes and wrappings, then they would be helping to save plants and many animals that live in these plants. That is why I think that protesting for more recycled paper and less new paper is good for people and the environment.

The cutting down of trees is horrible.

It will cut down on the amount of oxygen in our air and increase the amount of carbon. Without trees/plants, humans will also die.
