Environmental issues are a major concern in our world, and every individual must recognize the need for change. Over years, humans have made a significant effect towards the planet, and one of those major concerns was deforestation. Deforestation has been heavily debated for a long period; mostly during these last few years. Government interferes and cuts forests in order to make a higher profit without realizing the effects it has on the planet. However, people disagree with the fact that deforestation is bad, instead they think that the effects are devastating and will become irreversibly disastrous in the future. I have weighed the pros and cons, and pros have the upper advantage with the fact that it declines wildlife populations, create drastic changes to the earths climate, and would result to much loss soil.
Deforestation should have peoples concern since it has an effect to the planet; we humans live in this planet therefore we must protect it, including the prevention of deforestation. People do not have any respect for nature because we leave everything to the government. ...
The setting takes place in April at a funeral. There was a “gardenia on the smooth brown wood” (Holczer 1). They have been “wandering across the great state of California” (2). The setting moves to Grace's grandma’s house. It was “two stories with attic windows”, “sky-blue paint with white trim”, “ and a wood porch” (19). There were “two chairs covered in yellowed plastic and pine needles” (19). There was a gently sloped driveway. Inside the house there were “piles of Tupperware and glass dishes” (19). Outside there was a shed, garden, trees, and
Filban said the home had a yard that was overgrown. “The trees and bushes were overgrown, and the house was dark,” Filban said. “And the windows were covered.” She and her sister slept in the front bedroom of the house. She remembers the bedroom having a large, floor-to-ceiling window. She said you could look out and see the wra...
cold, harsh, wintry days, when my brothers and sister and I trudged home from school burdened down by the silence and frigidity of our long trek from the main road, down the hill to our shabby-looking house. More rundown than any of our classmates’ houses. In winter my mother’s riotous flowers would be absent, and the shack stood revealed for what it was. A gray, decaying...
Marie’s grandparent’s had an old farm house, which was one of many homes in which she lived, that she remembers most. The house was huge, she learned to walk, climb stairs, and find hiding places in it. The house had a wide wrap around porch with several wide sets of stairs both in front and in back. She remembers sitting on the steps and playing with one of the cats, with which there was a lot of cats living on the farm...

Deforestation is an emerging environmental problem regarding forest depletion and clearing. Many people show great concern for our rainforest and deforestation in general. A lot of people do not agree with the concept of deforestation. Throughout the years many people have protested against deforestation. One person who advocates to end deforestation is Edward Abbey in his essay “Eco Defense” published in 1995. Edward Abbey was an author and environmentalist advocate born in Indiana and lived from 1927-1989 he earned his master 's degree at university of New Mexico. Forests are required for the wellness of the wild animals, human being and the environment. Deforestation is ruining that. Edward Abbey uses strong language and pathos to effectively
She took the key out of the lock and turned the door knob hesitantly and opened the door.
Allison Vandemore looked back one last time at the dilapidated weekly rental as she pulled a dark strand of hair behind her round ear. How it looked even less livable than what it had ten short months before, she wasn’t sure. Still, she was certain a small part of her would cherish the time spent in the duplex style apartment. Although she was ecstatic this chapter of her life was finally over. The rotten siding, broken window panes, as well as the sagging roof with patches of missing shingles, felt like home. It’s the only real home I’ve known, she thought pressing her lips thin and nodding to herself.
The front door swung open. Clay stepped out onto the porch, wearing mud-stained jeans and a sweatshirt from the
It was then, as I shut the door behind me, that the tears started to run down my face. I walked down the back steps and once at the bottom I turned around to admire the building that had seen me grow. Although the bricks were eroded, the white siding was appearing to look gray, and the shutters were faded it was certainly home to me. I never loved each and every imperfection that this house had to offer, especially in this very moment. As I loaded in the U-Haul with father, I remember thinking this was the end of my life and everything that I’ve known for the past fifteen years has come to an end.
Deforestation is fast becoming one of the world’s worst environmental/geographical occurring disasters known to mankind, and is due to humankind’s greed, ignorance and carelessness when considering the future of our environment.
Deforestation is a widely used term, but one with different meanings. Disturbance deforestation refers to all man made disturbances that alter a forest, these are the most common. This argumentative essay discusses the positive and negative aspects of deforestation. In the first part of the essay the pro arguments of deforestation will be discussed. For example, the issue of Global population and how forests are being used, land use and the ways forests contribute, wood use, forest growth, destruction and the reasons for cutting down the trees. The second half of the essay will cover the issues that are harmful to the environment because of deforestation. Many environmental issues take place everyday; a big question that arises, is if the global economy will ever finds middle on the issue of forest thinning. If deforestation was used only in the most crucial of times, the world might become a better place.
Her house was once new and beautiful, just as she was as a younger lady. But later in life, she is described as “bloated”, with lost eyes looking like “two small pieces of coal pressed into a lump of dough” (85). Her depressing and completely anti-social life has lead to her depreciating appearance. Later, her house is described as “lifting its stubborn and coquettish decay” (84). Her appearance diminishes, along with her house. The emphasis on the decay of her and her house during the story helps the reader visualize and understand the sadness and dreariness of her life (and
I wearily drag myself away from the silken violet comforter and slump out into the living room. The green and red print of our family’s southwestern style couch streaks boldly against the deep blues of the opposing sitting chairs, calling me to it. Of course I oblige the billowy haven, roughly plopping down and curling into the cushions, ignoring the faint smell of smoke that clings to the fabric. My focus fades in and out for a while, allowing my mind to relax and unwind from any treacherous dreams of the pervious night, until I hear the telltale creak of door hinges. My eyes flutter lightly open to see my Father dressed in smart brown slacks and a deep earthy t-shirt, his graying hair and beard neatly comber into order. He places his appointment book and hair products in a bag near the door signaling the rapid approaching time of departure. Soon he is parading out the door with ever-fading whispers of ‘I love you kid,’ and ‘be good.’
The world today is vastly different from what it was before urbanisation and industrialisation had taken its toll on the world. Since the turn of the new millennium the issue of the environment has suddenly evolved into a widespread issue which is greatly discussed throughout the world. No longer are humans living in a world where the environment is serene or stable but much rather becoming unrecognisable and diminishing before our eyes. The plants, trees and flowers are life forms which God has created for us to enjoy its beauty but it is now solely up to us and many other organisations to protect preserve and respect how fragile our environment really is.
