The cutting down of over 30 million trees every year has caused significant difficulties for the local animals and wildlife. Each tree that is cut down displaces yet another animal, forcing them to migrate closer to urban areas in search of shelter. These displaced animals initially roam around in search of food, but when unable to find any, they resort to various sources for sustenance. Consequently, domesticated animals become vulnerable to contracting diseases from wild animals through bites.
This can lead to a local spread and result in children becoming sick from being bitten by an infected dog, adding another problem to be faced. Additionally, many modern societies contribute to excessive paper waste through careless use and lack of recycling. The overflow of landfills due to this waste has resulted in an increase in fire holes, which emit toxic fumes that nearby residents breathe in. Moreover, the high demand for paper has fueled rapid production, leading to the destruction of forests at a rate faster than they can be replenished.
Due to the time constraints faced by paper companies, they anticipate a certain availability of trees or paper to meet customer demands. Paper is utilized for various purposes, including grocery bags and billboards. Some businesses heavily rely on paper and plastic cups, surpassing an entire school filled with notebooks. Ultimately, the consequences of deforestation pose an ongoing challenge. Ideally, an alternative material to wood will be discovered in the future.
