Carbon Sources

All living organisms have carbon. Without carbon, nothing will survive, because its THAT important. Carbon source are mostly bad things that people do.

1. An example that would show this would be "deforestation." By hearing just the name, it tells you alot. This is when people are cutting down a whole buncch of trees, maybe a whole forest. Another way forests can be "deforestation" is by wildfires or any other fire. The fire can easily spread through the whole area, leaving only what is left. Most people tear down the forests to build roads, clear land for farming, and building territory.

2. Another example would be the burning of fossil fuels. Coal, oil, and gas are all fossil fuels. Oil and gas are regularly, yet coal has to be crush down to small pieces to be burnt. After the gasoline is burnt, it is shipped to gas station. There, people use the gasoline for energy in there cars or other transportation.

3. The last example of carbon source could be people breathing. Of course, breathing is very important. Without breathing, we won't be able to live. We need oxygen we inhale to use for any system that relates to the lungs. Eventually, without breathing in oxygen and exhaling carbon dioxide, we won't be able to live.

How is Carbon Sources Harmful?

1. The deforestation leads to humans not having the chance to survive. That's because trees are very important to the carbon cycle. Not only do they give us oxygen to breathe, yet they use the carbon dioxide we exhale to store all the necessaties needed for a tree. When the forest is gone, the carbon is let out as carbon dioxide. Too much carbon dioxide will lead to global warming.

2. Another way carbon sources is bad is because of the burning of fossil fuels. When the fossil fuels are burnt, the carbon dioxide rises into the air, with the air we breathe with. Then, eventually the carbon dioxide causes pollution, which is not good for the environment.
