Post Three

The overall theme of my paragraph was protecting the environment. People are worried about the daily oil consumption around the world. Also, In the future, oil will play an important role in the world. More oil will by the same as more power.

Studies show that Central America has lost 2/3's of its forests in the last 30 years due to rising population. Deforestation is causing many environmental problems: soil erosion, not enough water, and even climate changes. Major storms have caused much more damage to the land without the shelter of the many trees that had existed in the area. Much of Central America's land is hilly and mountainous. Without the trees holding down the land, a lot of the soil has eroded. Many people are recommending that deforestation be addressed.
