Cutting of Trees for Charcoal

Deforestation

The cutting of trees for charcoal in Munali is a huge environmental issue in my community; especially now that there is rampant load-shedding across the country. These activities affect the environment and my community, first the fact that carbon dioxide is emitted into the atmosphere during the process of charcoal burning. Second, the smoke released poses huge risks for respiratory diseases.
