deforestation: Cutting down trees and not
replacing them. It hurts the air quality because it reduces the number of trees
that produce oxygen for us to breathe. Trees also help delay the greenhouse
effect because they use carbon dioxide, which helps maintain air quality. In
addition, trees protect the soil and hold it in place. See also
