As populations in North America grow, so does the need for wood to build houses, stores, and other buildings. Select the statement that best describes the long-term global effects of this behavior. A. People will need to plant more trees and in a few months the entire problem will be taken care of.

B. If we control the amount of forests cut, the people will go somewhere else to find wood. This is not a concern as long as they are not cutting down the forests in North America.

C. Populations are falling in the rest of the world so the extra wood can come from other countries that have a surplus.

D. In order to meet the demand, forests have been cut down at an alarming rate. If we do not find another source of building materials, our forests, an important natural resource, will all disappear.
