Summary
Norway has become the first country to stop clear-cutting of trees, which will be a great help to curbing global deforestation. Norwegian lawmakers also commited to find a way to source essential products such as palm oil, soy, and timber so that they leave little to no impact on their ecosystems. These production contributed to a little less than half of total tropical deforestation. Norway has shown its commitment to a cleaner environment in other ways. In 2008, the country gave Brazil $1 billion to help fight deforestation of the Amazon rainforest. It is also in the process of restricting the sales of gas-powered cars by 2025.
Opinion
I agree with Norway’s policy. Ｉthink this policy will bring about mainly two great results. One is about climate change. When forests are cleared and in flames, the carbon in the trees is released as carbon dioxide which is the main greenhouse gas contributing to climate change. So this policy will stop to increase carbon dioxide in the air. It means this policy will prevent global warming. And the other is about protecting ecosystems. There are many animals and plants in forests. If we destroy forests, they will lose places to live and die. For two main reasons, I think we should stop deforestation. Other contries should introduce such policy to protect the enviroment and ecosystems.
