Question 1430 • Crowley Credit Recovery Algebra II B
Read the excerpt from Teagan’s essay about deforestation.Deforestation is a global catastrophe, with billions of trees being chopped down each year. The primary justification for the destruction of forests all over the world is an increased demand for agricultural products—especially cattle. People require food, and they must have a place to grow and raise it. Deforestation not only clears vegetation that removes carbon dioxide from the air, but the very act of clearing forests increases greenhouse gas emissions. This is why becoming vegan is the healthiest choice when determining lifestyle changes.
