Do you use a lot paper? Yes, then you are either wasting or using a lot of trees. Some of the reasons people log are for paper, but the real reason is either for big projects such as stores and also illegal logging.
There are several reasons why people log, such as things for houses. People log for paper and also to make other things such as wood for houses, tabels, etc. We use wood for lots of things. Even things that you don't know is wood we are using that come from big forest that are being cut down. When we use so much of it, that is when we lots of our forests. It is sad, so help out the forests and recycle.
The real reasons loggers log, are because they either need to make room for farms or big projects like stores, also illegal logging hurts the forests too. Each year 32 million acres of forests are lost according to the Nature Conservancy.For an example what is poachers for animals are illegal loggers for forests. Count to two, a football field sized area of forest has just been cut down. That is all done by logging, not just legal but also illegal. This is all done usually for and from cattle grazing , agriculture, mining, oil, people, dams, pipelines and other big projects.
Trees make oxygen for us to breathe but if we have no trees then we have no oxygen.
"if the forests are the Earth's lungs, then mother nature is having a hard time breathing."
The trees and plants have a very important role in how our climate stays steady and under control. Trees hold on to our greenhouse gasses. When those trees are destroyed or cut down they let the gasses they were storing in their leaves and let them go into the Earth's atmosphere. That is very bad for the Earth's ozone layer. The gasses they hold are water vapor, carbon dioxide, methane, ozone. This loss of trees or forests are increasing global warming.

Cell Phones And Driving!!! =(
Do you think that when a person is driving and talking on the cell phone they are being distracted? I say NO! In Illinois they have a law against talking and texting on the phone while driving and I do not like it. I do not drive, but I just like the fact that they have this law. Here is my argument. If they want to out law cell phones because they think its a distraction, then what about SMOKING in cars? I just do not get it. I mean really is that not a distraction too? I think so. I even heard that bluetooth ear pieces are a distraction too. What is this world coming to? Its kind of like that they are trying to control us. In our own cars seriously? I mean maybe they should just out law talking in the car period, because that is a distraction. When you go to look at the person that you are talking to, you take your eyes off the road for like a second and that can be just enough for an accident. Also, if they want to talk about cell phones, well sheesh WHAT ABOUT DRUNK DRIVING? That is still a big problem in our crazy and mest up world. I believe they should totally have a law, that at BARS, they should have breath-a-lizers right there at the door so before they leave they should have to pass it.... MORE COMING SOON!!!!

Causes Of EarthQuakes-_-
A roar comes from underneath. The ground is shaking unbelievably, and it will not stop. That is something like an earthquake right? Crazy to think of what this earth is capable of doing. Yes, the reason I am talking about earthquakes is because of Haiti. That is very sad what happen their. A 7.0 earthquake struck their. That is a larger earthquake. What happen is our surface that we live on is in a slow motion movement, and underneath are plate tectonics which are moving, but when the plate tectonic slips it moves so fast that the slow moving surface is just destroyed by the fast moving plates. It is kind of like running and if you can not keep up then you fall right? It ripples the ground like a (BIG) bomb exploding near the ground. Really the surface keeps breaking away from the plate that is breaking.
I would like to send all my prayers to the Haiti people and just hope they can pull through these hard times.
