Every day, the population of our planet throws out 4.8 million tons of waste. More than half of this garbage will decompose for hundreds and thousands of years. The best way to reduce waste is simply to consume less. A lot of the goods that we purchase are actually not so necessary. But conscious consumption is a global lifestyle that cannot be achieved quickly. It takes small actions every day that will change habits.
Through photosynthesis, forests give us oxygen to breathe while absorbing carbon dioxide. Trees protect the air from poisonous gases, soot and other pollution, noise. Phytoncides produced by most conifers destroy pathogens. Forests are habitats for many animals, they are real storehouses of biological diversity. They are involved in creating a microclimate favorable for agricultural plants.One of the main problems of preserving and increasing the forest fund, including in Russia, is not cutting down at all, but annual fires, which in most cases arise due to negligence and a barbaric attitude towards nature. According to various sources, from 1.5 to 15 million hectares of forest are burned annually in the world.Every year, 4 billion trees are cut down in the world to make paper. The average life span of one sheet is no more than 19 minutes, and more than a third of all household waste is paper. Greenhouse gas emissions associated with paper production are three times those of all aviation in the world
