Deforestation T-Shirt

Deforestation is a primary contributor to climate change. It  is often cited as one of the major causes of the enhanced greenhouse effect.

Forests still cover about 30 percent of the world’s land area, but they are disappearing at an alarming rate.

Each year more than 13 million hectares (32 million acres) of forests are lost, an area roughly the size of England.

Deforestation causes extinction, changes to climatic conditions, desertification.

Removing trees deprives the forest of portions of its canopy, which blocks the sun’s rays during the day and retains heat at night. That disruption leads to more extreme temperature swings that can be harmful to plants and animals.

Tropical deforestation is responsible for approximately 20% of world greenhouse gas emissions.

We need trees for a variety of reasons. Not only they absorb the carbon dioxide that we exhale, but also the heat-trapping greenhouse gases that human activities emit. As those gases enter the atmosphere, global warming increases, a trend scientists now prefer to call climate change.

Causes of deforestation

Deforestation can involve conversion of forest land to farms, ranches or urban use.

Agriculture is the primary cause of deforestation. It cuts trees down for use as building material or sold as fuel (sometimes in the form of charcoal or timber). It then uses clear lands as pasture for livestock and plantation.

Consumption and production of beef is the primary driver using around 80% of all converted land to rear cattle.

International Day of Forests

The United Nations General Assembly established the International Day of Forests on the 21st day of March.

Each year, various events celebrate and raise awareness of the importance of all types of forests for the benefit of current and future generations.

On International Day of Forests, countries undertake efforts to organise local, national, and international activities involving forests and trees.

The International Day of Forests was observed for the first time on March 21, 2013.

Who we are

The News On T-Shirt artworks are created by different international artists in different stiles and techniques: 3d, 2d, painting, photo … you name it.

Our talented and growing team of artists first choose some news to draw and then they dedicate their time skills and passion to create a visual representation of it.

It’s an exciting creative process where they experiment and play with artistic tools. They also read, learn, research in order to deliver the message making it simple and entertaining.

We like the idea of wearing our own designs while delivering a message through it.

It’s our way of spreading world news around, creating inspiring artworks and wearing them on.

In conclusion, we’d like to share with you our motto and our mission which is keeping important news alive, spreading the message around and most importantly do not forget!

… and all of that … while having fun!

We hope you like our project!
