World Environment Day is a day to focus on the need to protect the environment.

The World Environment Day was first celebrated in 1974 and is held every year on June 5th. The day is intended to focus attention on the need to protect and improve the environment. The day was founded by the United Nations General Assembly in 1972, following concerns about growing levels of pollution and damage to natural resources. Since then, it has grown into a global event with thousands of events taking place around the world each year.

In recent years, World Environment Day has also been used as an opportunity for people to reduce their carbon footprint. For example, people might take public transport instead of driving or plant trees or flowers in their garden.

Greenpeace is an international non-governmental environmental organization founded in 1971.

Greenpeace is an international non-governmental environmental organization founded in 1971. Greenpeace states its goal is to “ensure the ability of the Earth to nurture life in all its diversity” and focuses its campaigning on worldwide issues such as climate change, deforestation, overfishing, commercial whaling, genetic engineering, and anti-nuclear issues. Greenpeace has a worldwide network of offices and also operates in more than 40 countries across Europe, North America, Oceania and Asia. The global organization does not accept funding from governments or corporations.

Greenpeace was founded by Irving Stowe (an American who moved to Canada), Dorothy Stowe (Irving’s wife), Jim Bohlen (a former Sierra Club executive director) and Bob Hunter (who became a director). Irving Stowe was a civil engineer who had worked for the U.S. Atomic Energy Commission on nuclear tests after World War II; he also wrote articles for “Scientific American”. In 1970, he attended a lecture by Paul Ehrlich at Stanford University about the effects of population growth on resources available for consumption. Irving then published an article titled “Eco-Catastrophe!,” which led to his founding of the Population Crisis Committee. He also wrote articles that were published by “The Washington Post” and “The New York Times.”

The world’s rainforests are being destroyed at an alarming rate.

There are a number of ways to stop deforestation, including a tax on meat and the use of more sustainable farming methods. But some of the most effective ways to stop deforestation are more difficult to implement. These include reducing global consumption and increasing awareness.

What is deforestation?

Deforestation is the destruction of forests by human activity. This is usually due to logging, agriculture or urbanization. The problem has become increasingly prevalent in recent years, as large areas of rainforest have been cleared for logging or agriculture. The problem has become so bad that it’s now considered one of the biggest threats to biodiversity and the natural environment.

Why is deforestation a problem?

“Deforestation could cause global warming.”

Deforestation causes carbon dioxide emissions because trees absorb carbon dioxide from the atmosphere during photosynthesis. When trees are cut down, they release all this stored carbon into the atmosphere.

“It’s destroying habitats.”

Deforestation also destroys habitats for animals and plants.

“It’s threatening species with extinction.”

Over 50% of species could be extinct by 2050 if we don’t stop deforestation.

“It’s causing soil erosion.”

Trees help hold soil together which prevents erosion.
