there are various controversial topics that influence our lives every day.
Environmental issues as a whole have been pushed down and are rarely
publicized. The issue of deforestation is a huge environmental problem that I
do not often hear about on the news or in my day to day life. Most of what I
know about the topic is from reading science textbooks. I understand what
deforestation means, and I understand that it largely affects the world today,
and more specifically affects climate change, however I have never heard
current news on this subject. Deforestation is the clearing away of a large
area of trees. I know that deforestation plays a role in the decrease of
biodiversity and affects the climate and environment of the earth as a whole.
Three sources that could lead to more information about this topic include
social media sites, a news outlet, and a scientific article. Social media cites,
such as Facebook, can influence our understanding of deforestation. As we
are scrolling through our Facebook pages, the posts that we see and read
affect our understanding of a subject.
