If you have planted the number of trees mentioned in your Rappler’s Carbon Footprint calculator
results required to offset climate change, how many pounds of carbon dioxide (total per year) will
you have sequestered from the atmosphere? Support your reflections with the science behind
carbon dioxide sequestration of trees and how these are again released into the atmosphere
when are trees are cut and killed. (No need to show your solutions in this paper)
27 trees
Throughout the years, we have lived a life full of ease and comfort. Big thanks to
technology that it was born and helped the lives of the later generations to be improved.
Things were made stress-free and simpler. The activities that require more amount effort
in the old times are already possible to be accomplished easier at present with the help
of technology. There was a minimization of the effort needed on the tasks people are to
make. But, as we enjoy the benefits and advantages of technology, we slowly and
continuously forget its major impact to our dear environment. We take for granted all the
good things technology has done to us and thus closed our ears to hear the voice of the
environment crying and begging for the attention of man. Our dear environment has
silently been crying all these years because of the comfortable living of humans. And this
sad reality has to change now for we still have time. We still have the chance to do things
right and be sensitive for the welfare of our environment. Therefore, we already must
recognize our lapses and do the corrective action to help our nature. Our actions may not
instantly change and solve the current problem of our environment but will definitely help
and lessen its suffering through our everyone’s given efforts.
