Recently, the hashtag #10yearchallenge went widespread, with people from all around the world sharing their experiences of how they have changed over the course of ten years. Some people decided to use the hashtag to alert the public to the catastrophic influence that humans are having on the environment on which we live. Deforestation is one of the most serious environmental challenges facing the world in the twenty-first century, and it is exactly what people have attempted to warn us about.
