What role do corporations play in contributing to deforestation, and how can they be held accountable?

Bobbye O'Cannavan

Corporations are big companies that make products to sell. Some corporations might contribute to deforestation, which means cutting down a lot of trees. This happens when a corporation needs wood or land to make their products.

Corporations can be held accountable, which means they are responsible for their actions. People can ask corporations to be responsible by talking to them, protesting, and making sure that laws are followed. Laws are rules that tell people what they can and cannot do.

Some corporations are trying to be more responsible and they are making changes to help the environment. They might use recycled materials or find ways to use less paper. They might also make sure the wood they use comes from forests that are being replanted.

It is important to remember that everyone can make a difference, even children. We can help by using less paper and recycling. We can also ask our parents to buy products from companies that are being responsible and not contributing to deforestation.

In summary, some corporations might contribute to deforestation by cutting down trees to make products. However, they can be held accountable through talking, protesting and following laws. Some corporations are trying to be more responsible by using recycled materials and using less paper. Everyone can make a difference by using less paper, recycling and supporting responsible corporations.
