What would earth be like…if there were no trees?
Well, that might just be our future reality. Yes, our – yours and mine. And, it’s happening now. Forests are rapidly diminishing. More and more trees are cut down for space and resources. And with fewer trees comes more and more environmental changes, all for the worse. Trees are an important part of this planet.
This video helps show what life on earth could be like, if there were no trees;
why trees are important to our ecosystems;
and why trees play a critical role in helping fight climate change.
I made this video six years ago, when I created this website.
I'm now a sophomore in high school (still homeschooled)
and still doing everything I can to inspire other students
about climate change and what kids can do to help.
Back then, it took me two whole homeschool days to create and produce this video. First, I had to do research. Then, I had to find and edit the images I wanted; learn how to create the video slides; write the voice script; and record the voice-over myself.
"So, Jackson, what can I do? I’m not a grown up.”
I know, that’s what I said. “I’m just a kid.”
But Jackson, why do I have to do anything?
I mean, thousands of experts are working on it, right?
Yes, that’s true.
Thousands of experts are working on climate change and deforestation.
However for our environment to change, we all need to do our part.
There are too many people who think that the world’s problems will solve themselves.
They won’t.
