Energy (Do not edit my page) Deforestion of the Amazon rainforests and C02 What kind of energy can we with produce from it? It does have to do with energy, just keep reading. No,seriously it does have to do with energy just not in the conventional way! By: Suada-silly2

Almost half of the worlds rainforests have already been cut down and most for agriculture purposes? We have used so many resources from the rainfoerst for the all these decades and probably will keep using them for many more to come. Researchers have found that many of the plants that grow in the rainforest are able to treat cancer and many of the pharmaceutical drugs we use have at least one ingredient that came from these rainforests. The amount of work needed to clear trees and these wonderous plants in the process is tremendous and we still haven't even put the main factor in!

====    C urrent anthropogenic practices, like deforestation for farmland or wood capital, lead to a major change or decrease in woodland in the Amazonian demographic.This not only leads to a decrease in habitat for tropical species, but it also reduces the amount of trees helping to rid Co2 and other greenhouse gases from our atmosphere. Not to mention all the work and energy needed to do this. There is also the practice of burning to clear woodland, leading to a massive release of CO2 into the atmosphere, as the carbon that was stored in the tree itself is discharged or sent back into the air during combustion (the act or process of burning). ====

==== Some would argue that the rainforests produce as much oxygen as they take in and that it wouldn't make that big of a difference if we just cut or burned them down. Anyway, it's not like we're just cutting them down for the fun of it. Many of the things we use in our daily lives come from these trees. Tree's and there wood are used as energy sources such as biomass fuel, firewood, and other woodfuels. Which are used to power stoves, open wood fires, cooking, etc. As you can see the Amazoniain rainforests are a huge abundent of energy ==== ==== There are also many other situations in which we use wood such as; cabinets, tables, furniture,etc, certain mechanics, baking, brewing, smoking, curing, black liquor (which is a by-product of pulp), paper, pencils and other school and office supplies, etc. As you can see, the wood from the rainforests is used for all kinds of things; from fuel to small to pencils it's mother earths multipurpose creation. ====

==== However, we should be cutting the trees for certain needs like fuel but we should be doing it one tree at a time and really there's no point in clearing rainforest for farmland because after a couple months to a couple years after doing this, the land is unusable and is left there to rot or it is burned. If you're one of these people that thinks that it's okay to cut them down, then just know that although the trees produce as much oxygen as they take in, it's all in a wondeful cycle called life. We take in oxygen and release C02, the trees take in this C02 and Release it back as oxygen and so it goes on. But you cut the tree down and the cycle goes in reverse and if you think hard enough, killing a tree is like killing a human being. So why is it okay to kill a tree but not a human? ==== ==== In conclusion the Amazonian Rainforest is a wonderous creation that can be used in many ways, one way we should be looking at it now is as an energy source. It's vast green lush stretches quite far and if we just wrapped our heads around that, we actually might be able to use it to an advantage of ours and in a good way. That's my presention, THE END!! ====
