Thankfully with the passage of time we've seen more and more campaigns to reduce the usage of wood products in our everyday life. They represent one of the main contributors to global climate change, so it's an absolute must that we have to remove them from use. Another important reason to remove these products is because we damage the habitats of wildlife by cutting down the trees. We also have to say that using paper bags as a replacement for plastic bags is ludicrous, because down the line, they are equally bad.
Just by looking at the Amazon forest we can see how bad deforestation has been. The logging industry has removed so many hectares of forest. By doing this, they are removing the so-called lungs of the Earth, because the Amazon absorbs so much of the world's CO2. The wood being extracted from the Amazon is just another step towards a future where the global temperatures rise.
Another important issue is the devastation of the wildlife. With the increasing numbers of saw mills, we have seen a decline in populations of animals like bears, wolves and deer. There has been a reduction of forests by over 75% in North America alone, and this has brought many species to the brink of extinction.
Nowadays many people decide to take paper bags instead of plastic bags. This is because plastic bags don't degrade and they pollute the environment. But, the paper bags are equally damaging because they destroy the environment as well. The only difference is that a plastic bag destroys the environment after it is made, and to produce a paper bag we have to destroy the environment. So in the end they are equally destructive.
The reading and lecture are both about the effects of destroying forests to get wood products. The author of the passage feels that cutting forest are the main contributors to global climate change. The lecturer challenges the claims made by the author. She is of the opinion that deforestation is not mainly due to the cutting down of the forest.
The begin with, the author argues by giving example to the Amazon forest that, the logging industry has cleared vast lands of forest trees which has led to an increase in global temperatures. The specific argument is challenged by the lecturer. She claims that the logging industry will be at loss if they just kept on clearing the forest for wood. In reality, they are planting as much as trees as they cut every day. Additionally, she says about how logging industry in order to keep their business going maintain these forest.
Secondly, the writer suggests with increasing rate of cutting down these trees, it is having a devastating effect on the wildlife. In the article, it is said that many of the species have come to the point of extinction due to 75% of North America’s reduction in forestland. The lecturer, however, rebuts this by mentioning that most of the wildlife avoid any movements where there is high human activity. So animals are being harmed when logging. She elaborates on this by bringing up the point that the main reason for clearing large areas of forest is to acquire land for livestock farming. Where these animals are fed and prepared to obtain meat.
Finally, the writer posits that people have switched to paper bags in order to boycott plastic bags. Moreover, in the article, it is stated that plastic and paper bags eventually cause the same end result i.e. destroying the environment. In contrast, the lecturer’s position is that paper is the best replacement of plastic bags. As plastic bags do not degrade easily and result in pollution the environment. She notes that wood which naturally degrades should be used to make paper bags as we tend to use wood which is of no use to the environment. Lastly, she suggests that one should use paper bags whenever one can.
