Read the text and do the following task.

To make our planet healthier, we need smart plans that look at the big and small picture. Here are some ways to help, with their good and bad sides.

First, let's talk about stopping deforestation. This means saving huge areas of forests, which are home to animals and plants, and help in taking in carbon dioxide - a major gas that heats up the earth. Doing this can save 15% of the world's carbon emissions. But, it might be hard for countries that rely on cutting down trees for money or farming land. They could lose income and jobs.

Next up, reducing the number of farm animals, especially cows and sheep, could lower methane - a powerful greenhouse gas they produce. This could significantly cut down on harmful gases. But, farmers might earn less, and the cost of meat could go up.

Composting kitchen scraps can turn waste into valuable soil and reduce the need for chemical fertilizers. It also means less trash heading to landfills, which take up space and release methane. However, setting up compost systems everywhere can be costly and require effort from everyone.

Lastly, changing how we package food by using materials that break down naturally can cut down on plastic waste. This could reduce ocean pollution and harm to wildlife. However, eco-friendly packaging might cost more to make and buy.

In short, these steps can greatly help our environment. But, they also ask for changes in how we live and do business, which can be challenging but necessary for a healthier planet.

Deforestation contributes to 15% of the world's carbon emissions.

Reducing livestock farming will have no significant impact on greenhouse gas emissions.

Composting can eliminate half of the need for landfills.

It can be expensive to develop compost systems everywhere.

Eco-friendly food packaging is cheaper to produce than traditional plastic packaging.
