TREE BY TREE : NIKIN

Let’s talk about the planet, Eco-responsibility and sustainability. Why? Because it’s an important topic in today’s society – it affect everyone’s life, and the environment.

Undeniably, phenomena such as plastic pollution, deforestation and climate changing have a big impact on our planet – people know it, but probably don’t imagine how important the consequences are. There are many ways to help the planet : use reusable bags, save electricity, save water, recycle, reduce or stop your consummation of meat, reduce the amount of paper in your life, and many many more!

Today, we want to focus on the deforestation, which means a permanent destruction of forests in order to make the land available for other uses. Each year, about 7.3 million hectares of forest are lost. Deforestation occurs mainly rain-forest tropical climate, and Indonesia is the most targeted country.

Above all, trees are mandatory to our planet – they create an ecosystem to provide habitat and food for birds and other animals. They supply oxygen, absorb carbon dioxide and potentially harmful gasses, are used for medicine. and help the climate changing.
