There is a long and rich history of logging in New Zealand. Logging involves cutting down trees. The people who cut them down are called loggers. The trees that they cut down are sold and used to build things (eg. houses), to make products (eg. paper), and to generate (create) heat and power. Over the past two centuries, many of the trees in New Zealand have been cut down by loggers.

Some people like logging because it creates jobs for the loggers and generates money for New Zealand while others are against (opposed to) logging. Many of those opposed are worried that logging will damage the environment. It might also force animals who live in trees (eg. owls) to find new homes.
What do you think about logging?
On your blog tell us whether you think logging should be allowed in New Zealand. Be sure to provide at least two reasons to support your argument.
I believe that loggers are destroying our environment. Trees make animals live but how can they live with all these loggers killing there home. Trees produce oxygen for humans and animals and oxygen is the only way to live for both animals and human. Plants store carbon, stabilise the soil and give life to the world. Trees cause rainfall and protect water resources under the ground. Trees give us clean water to drink, air to breathe, shade and food to human, animals and plants.
Kia ora & namaste Tehillah,
ReplyDeleteI really liked your arguments here as the reasons you used were very well explained and very important indeed, well done! Feeding forward, I want you to refer to the activity question " On your blog tell us whether you think logging should be allowed in New Zealand", you didn't really answer that, despite the fact that your reasons explicit imply it still, it would be outstanding if you have added it in the beginning or at the end of your text, for example: "I think logging shouldn't be allowed in New Zealand because I believe..." or " For all the reasons above I think logging shouldn't be allowed in New Zealand"
Nevertheless, I want you to know that I thought that your arguments were very coherent in this post! Ka Mau te Wehi!
Kia kaha,
Patricia
