According to Quora, there are about 100 trees cut down every minute!! Every day, nearly 100,000 acres is chopped down every day. Around 15,000,000,000 trees are cut down every year.

Around 31% of Earth's land area is the forest. Forests give required oxygen and provide homes for the wildlife also people. Most of the endangered animals (giant panda, tiger, gorilla, mountain gorilla, Amur leopard, Asian elephants, Tasmanian devil and orangutans) live in forests, these forests include fresh water, food, traditional medicines, clothing and shelter.

Deforestation can happen in many forms, fire, for agriculture, land for development for houses and urbanization, to create ingredients which are popular like, oil and palm oil.

Deforestation is one of the reasons for climate change. Here are a few videos from National Geographic, WWF and CNN. These videos explain what happens to deforestation and facts about deforestation. Hope you like these videos.

WE NEED TO STOP DEFORESTATION!

The Three R's

For today's post, we are going to look at 'Reduce, Reuse and Recycle'. I've started my next science badge, Environmental Science. If you haven't seen my other badge posts, Psychology, Astronomy and Geology, then check it out. I've chosen to post about this topic is because people know how to keep our environment safe and tidy. Here is what the three R's mean.

First, it is Reduce. This means using fewer resources to make sure that in the future there are more resources. Like, we should use less plastic bags so they don't end up in the sea. We should use reusable bags that we can use that bag more than once.

Second, Reuse. Reuse means using the resource for more than one time, like reusable bags. Also, you can reuse by making resources out of something. One example is plastic, you can reuse plastic bags by making reusable bags, using plastic bags as your bin, making supply plastic cups, plastic detergent bottles into a watering can, etc.

Third, Recycle. We all have heard of the word 'Recycle', also we know what it means. Let's know how we can help recycle.

• First of all, we should go out with our family or friends and collect rubbish [litter] from parks and gardens. 
• We shouldn't litter.
• Tell people not to litter (if they litter). 
• Collect rubbish if it is not yours. 

We should know what to put in the recycle bin.

• Paper
• Cardboard
• Junk Mail
• Magazines
• Plastic
• Tin Cans
• Aluminium
• Polystyrene
• Jars
• Glass bottles
• Lids

Let's recap why to Reduce, Reuse and Recycle is important.

We can save trees by recycling paper and not using paper that we don't need. We can use plastic that can help us and other people, we shouldn't recycle plastic bags. It's because we need these resources in the future so there would be more trees, paper etc. WE HAVE TO STOP DEFORESTATION!!

What I've learnt

• You can make supply plastic cups, plastic detergent bottles into a watering can, etc. out of plastic.

I haven't learnt much because I had learnt information about 'Reduce, Reuse and Recycle'. I hope you like my post about 'The Three R's'. Comment down below if you have learnt something new. Have a cool day!! Bye!!

Adrenalin Forest

Today we went to Adrenalin Forest at Spencer Park for EOTC Week. We had heaps of fun going to the courses and the challenges. We had 2 groups, I was in the 2nd group and we first went to the playground while group 1 was going to the courses. We went to the flying fox. Then we played some football ⚽ with Samyog and Aisa. After 1 hour we had some lunch then we went back to Adrenalin Forest. We first wore the harness and learned how to hook the ropes. The harness felt uncountable because I haven't wearied the harness before. Now on Monday I am going Sailing. We will have heaps of fun over there. Hope you have a cool 😎 day!! Bye!!
