Wood helps provide millions of people with clean and safe drinking water, cook food and build shelter. But wood can do even more.
Wood can build skyscrapers and replace plastic. With advances in science, wood is changing how we see the world, how we dress and how we move in more climate-friendly ways.
Through nanotechnology, wood can help us heal and find new cures. Wood is even taking us to space.
When forests are managed sustainably, wood is a renewable resource.
Choose sustainable wood for people and the planet.

Forests are important becouse we cannot live without its. They permise us to breath.
The reality is that the human is a poor spirit, that was come to the earth to destroy it.
Unfortunately forest areas getting smaller in my country. Last 5 years there are many forest burned and instead of renew this areas goverments have placed buildings in there. I hope one day we will realise the reality and don't touch there anymore.
Forests are undoubtedly crucial to human beings and the Earth. As we know, our houses/buildings and enormous daily products such as tissues are made of wood. More importantly, forests provide oxygen and adsorb carbon dioxide. Without forests, human beings and many species living on the Earth will lose their homeland. Without forests, the earth might end up as deserts or oceans.
Forest are important as these help us to live and share with other species, we breath, build and create employement thanks to resources found in our sourroundings, we survive because of these resources and that is another reason to promote campaigns which protect the environment, but not only this also applying in our daily life the principle of recycling
Thanks for woods in forests, some disasters which occurs in mountains caused by heavy rains would be stopped. And forests are important places for many kinds of wild animals and insects to live in. We humans must not destroy their important areas because we don't have any right to do that.
Awesome! This is a very well-made English exercise.
