EFFECTS OF ILLEGAL LOGGING

Forests are the richest and most diverse biological system on the face of the

earth. Forests are valuable and useful natural resources, providing fresh air

and varied recreational areas. Logging brings short-term benefits, however,

logging harms us all in the long term. Logging should be excluded from Native

Forests. There are two main reasons to support that. Firstly, logging forests

destroys the ecosystem and brings long-term harm. Forests are an interrelated

part of ecosystem. They can prevent soil erosion and pollution of rivers with

sediment. Logging takes most of the trees and destroys forests ecosystem.

Therefore, the greenhouse effect, soil erosion and animal extinction is getting

serious day by day.

Illegal logging increases the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere.

Also, due to the disappearance of trees, photosynthesis cannot take place.

Deforestation is rampant today due to the burden of our needs on land. The

levels of deforestation have increased by about 9% in recent times. Also, the

burning of wood causes it to decay, therefore releasing more carbon-dioxide

into the atmosphere. With the increase in population, more and more forests

are being cut to provide accommodation and other amenities to people. This

has led to an increase in the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere.

Deforestation is having a significant effect on the worlds climate and

geography. It is one of the primary contributors to modern climate change. Its

estimated that deforestation currently contributes about 20% of the worlds

greenhouse gas emissions directly. Indirectly it contributes significantly by

causing carbon dioxide to stay in the atmosphere for longer, rather than being

taken up by plants. An estimated 1.5 billion tons of carbon is released every

year by tropical deforestation.

Deforestation considerably increases the rate of soil erosion, through the

actions of increased rainfall run off and decreased ground debris. This is

further compounded by the increasing aridity of the unprotected soils and the

one you recently chopped so you could chop trees for lumber without

destroying the entire forest.Deforestation can be solved only if every one

cooperate with each other and stop people from vandalizing animals

homes.Remember you can make a change and influence the people around

you to save our beautiful planet.

MOBILE PHONE SHOULD BE BANNED IN SCHOOL

These days, mobile phones are everywhere on the streets. Mobile phones

are not what they used to be for only calling or texting. Now, there are games,

music and camera functions available in a mobile phone. Hence, I disagree

that mobile phones should be banned in schools as there are advantages of

students bringing their phones to school.

It should be allowed to use cell phones in schools as if there is any

emergency case parents can easily inform their children. It should not be

allowed to use during lectures but during break it should be allowed. And it

also helps after school time as if the children have any transport problem

they can inform their parents. Other than this if they have to stay at school after

the school time is over for any type of preparation they can inform their parents.

but there is some schools that let phones in because of the safety reasons.

Furthermore, mobile phone can also be used as an educational tool during

the lesson. According to Apple, about 1.5 million of their electronic devices are

being used in classrooms. For example, students can take a picture of the

blackboard in the classroom so they dont need to copy down notes. There are

also free calendar applications on the phone to enter the essential dates for

teachers to make plans for what to do in class. It can used for many

educational things like research, projects, calculators, and even putting in

important dates when a homework assignment or a project is due. These are

just some of the benefits of cell phones which evidentially make our life

manageable.

Besides, a lot of useful information we can find through internet. Students

need internet to make research. So it is logical if students are allowed to use

cell phones in school. All smart phones can access internet, which can help a

student to make extensive personal reading. Schools can use computers in

classrooms, but encourage phone usage out of the classroom. Schools can

provide free wifi internet at school so that their students can easily access

internet while at school. Most important educational websites like

Wikipedia.organdGoogle.comcan be accessed via mobile phones.

Therefore, students can find the extra and useful knowledges that cannot be

find in the textbook or from the library.

In the nutshell, considering all the reasons, I strongly stand with that

mobile phones should not be banned as it is au useful educational tool in the

class. It can also be used for the information and emergencies. Thus, mobile

phones should not be banned in school.
