What are the effects of deforestation on the environment?

• Deforestation leads to increased biodiversity, improved soil quality, and balanced water cycle.

• Deforestation results in reduced greenhouse gas emissions, better water conservation, and healthier ecosystems.

• Deforestation leads to loss of habitat for many species, soil erosion, disruption of the water cycle, and increased greenhouse gas emissions.

• Deforestation has no impact on the environment.

Why is it important to reduce our dependence on fossil fuels?

• To ignore air and water pollution, deny climate change, and exploit finite resources.

• To increase air and water pollution, worsen climate change, and deplete finite resources.

• To reduce air and water pollution, combat climate change, and conserve finite resources.

• To support the fossil fuel industry, promote climate change, and waste finite resources.
