| 100,000 Trees For Humanity |
|
The Earth’s forests are under assault on a tremendous scale with approximately 30,000 square miles disappearing each year.
It is estimated that all the Earth’s rain forests could be gone within 100 years at the current rate of deforestation resulting in habitat loss for millions of species. Unmanaged deforestation: - Threatens the survival of millions of animal and plant species
- Destroys rare species that may contain answers for cures to serious diseases
- Threatens climate stability
- Contributes to global warming and green house gas emission.
- Leads to desert lands that emerge from cleared forests
- Leads to soil erosion, landslides and flooding threatening communities and the lives of people near deforested regions
- Threatens humanity in countless ways including food supply, water supply, and disease.
The solution is a systematic effort of RE-Forestation. That means replacing what is being taken away.
Online printing company 4over4.com has announced its Green Printing and reforestation initiative “100,000 Trees for Humanity”, and its plan to use the Internet and social networking to promote awareness of environmental issues related to reforestation. 4over4’s goal is to plant 100,000 trees through sponsoring an initiative whereby support for and awareness of the cause is demonstrated by creating a link back to 4over4.com or the 100,000 Trees for Humanity page. For each link showing support, 4over4.com will plant one tree. 4over4.com has identified planting trees as a sustainable way of correcting certain environmental issues, including deforestation. As an online printing provider, 4over4.com recognizes that the trees used in the production of paper, on which most printing is done, need to be replaced in order to balance out the effect on the environment. Trees are crucial in restoring vital oxygen back to the environment. Trees also contribute to temperature control and natural cover/blocking of UV rays. Deforestation is an ugly reality that is sweeping through the world and exposing humanity to dangers which can be avoided by steps towards environmental conservation.
