How To Help Reduce Deforestation

According to the United Nation's Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), the 33 million acres of forestland that are lost per year are responsible for 20% of human-caused greenhouse gas emissions.

​

One simple way to go against deforestation is to plant a tree. But you can take it one step further by ensuring the choices you make at home, at the store, at work, and on the menu do not contribute to the problem. Here is what you can do about deforestation.

1. Plant a tree

​

2. Go paperless.

​

3. Recycle and buy recycled products.

​

4. Look for Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) certification on wood and wood products

 

5. Eat vegetarian meals as often as possible.
