The slash-and-burn process can release significant amounts of carbon dioxide, with estimates suggesting that it can emit anywhere from 2 to 10 tons of CO2 per hectare, depending on the specific vegetation and soil conditions. When forests are cleared, the carbon stored in trees and soil is released into the atmosphere, contributing to climate change. The total emissions can vary widely based on factors like the type of ecosystem, the management practices employed, and the duration of the burning. Overall, the practice poses serious environmental concerns due to its impact on greenhouse gas emissions.
Slash and burn is when forests and vegetation is cut down and burnt to provide clear land for crops. This doesn't cause, but contributes to global warming. Destroying and burning vegetation releases carbon into the atmosphere. Removed trees can no longer remove carbon dioxide from the air.
Well, global warming happens because there is a layer that covers up the the earth and its atmosphere. The whole layer is made up of carbon dioxide. this carbon dioxide layer releases sunlight, but traps more of it in the atmosphere. As we produce more and more carbon dioxide, the layer gets thicker trapping more and more sunlight and letting less go. This is called the greenhouse effect. Getting rid of forests will make the amount of carbon dioxide that is added to the layer even larger since plants as we know it, take in carbon dioxide and release oxygen.
This process is called slash-and-burn farming. It involves cutting down vegetation, including the stumps, and burning them to release nutrients into the soil for planting crops.

Slash and burn farming is detrimental because it destroys forest ecosystems, releases large amounts of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere, contributes to deforestation, and can lead to soil degradation and loss of biodiversity. It is considered unsustainable and harmful to the environment in the long term.

Carbon footprint is a measure of the impact our activities have on the environment, and in particular climate change. It relates to the amount of greenhouse gases produced in our day-to-day lives through burning fossil fuels for electricity, heating and transportation etc.(The amount of greenhouse gas released by an organism.)The carbon footprint is a measurement of all greenhouse gases we individually produce and has units of tonnes (or kg) of carbon dioxide equivalent.Carbon footprints:A carbon footprint is the amount of carbon dioxide that one person or one activity creates. It is suggested as a measure of how much damage on the environment that something has. The carbon footprint for a bottle of water would add up the negative environmental impact of manufacturing plastic bottles and truck emissions for delivering the water. Your house would have a carbon footprint. Some activities have an indirect carbon footprint by removing "carbon sinks", i.e. removing things that would remove carbon dioxide. The most obvious ones are the massive deforestation going on in many tropical areas through slash-and-burn agriculture, mining, etc.Reducing carbon footprints: You could lower the carbon footprint of your house by doing things like using CFL lighting and energy efficient appliances, and adding insulation. There are websites that help you determine carbon footprints. It is also possible to reduce net carbon footprint by adding plants which absorb carbon dioxide and release oxygen to the atmosphere.
Slash-and-burn agriculture, also known as swidden farming, involves cutting down and burning trees to clear land for farming. This practice can lead to deforestation, loss of biodiversity, soil erosion, and air pollution. The burning releases carbon dioxide into the atmosphere, contributing to climate change. Overall, slash-and-burn agriculture can have significant negative impacts on the environment.

We breathe oxygen, and breathe out carbon dioxide. Trees take in the carbon dioxide, mix it with energy from the sun= photosynthesis. So the balance is interrupted when we cut down trees, and a bunch of carbon dioxide is in the air. Another problem is the slash-and-burn method being used. The trees are burned and cleared; that sets off smoke, and the increase in carbon dioxide could potentially cause global warming. The trees are cleared for farming, but the topsoil only stays good for a few years. Then when the topsoil is cleared away, it, and the pesticides, choke off the fish and disrupt the delicate nature of the rain forest.
Riding a bicycle is carbon neutral, which means it has no carbon footprint. It does not increase the amount of carbon dioxide in the air.Many other human activities, particularly sports and exercise are carbon neutral. But whenever you turn on some electrical gadget or ride in a fossil fueled vehicle you start increasing the carbon dioxide in the air.
