Deforestation
If we look at images of what the earth looked like before humans came and destroyed everything, we’d see large, expansive jungles and forests across a majority of Earth’s land area. Humans destroy everything by profiting off of the resources these environments can provide. Because plants play a pivotal role in the existence of humans, it makes no sense that we destroy them. According to the Big Blog of Gardening, “cutting swaths of trees hurts the environment because fewer trees equal more carbon dioxide and less fresh oxygen.

Additionally, the air is riddled with pollutants from car fumes, factory exhausts, cigarette smoke, burning coal, natural gas fracking, and the like. Some credit the rise in respiratory illnesses such as allergic rhinitis, asthma, bronchitis, pneumonia, and similar conditions with the denudation of the forests.” This just sounds horrendous. We live in a world where we’re constantly breathing in the fumes of toxic chemicals. Before we know it, the Earth will become inhabitable (Big Blog of Gardening).
