The World and How We Affect Its Health

We are the users of the world that we have lived on for hundreds of years. Even though we think that everything should be luxury for us, we don’t deserve it. Even now, the fires from many different places and gases are burning through the ozone layer. The ozone layer is a protective filter that surrounds our planet. It is our responsibility to protect the ozone layer. By saving it, we are saving ourselves. See, the ozone layer is what protects us from the harmful waves of the sun. Even though you may think this not true, it is. The sun projects different gasses that the ozone layer blocks.

The world is harmed by more than just gas and other pollutants. It is inhabited by us. Humans have evolved from a world with no technology to a world where there seems to be more technology than trees. The world before technology was filled with better wonders than gray, metal cities that are not beautiful to the eye.  The number of trees cut down each year is around 3 billion to 6 billion each year! (About the size of Ireland.) There are about 400 billion trees in the world left. If you divide the number, you will get around 66 years untill all the trees on Earth are cut down. If we lose the trees, we lose oxygen. You may think that the government or somebody else will come up with some sort of solution to the problem of loosing trees, like making oxygen masks or storing enough oxygen for the world to survive for hundreds of years. If if they did do that, would you really want to lose Earth because of our ignorance?
