In order to expand agriculture and stimulate a sagging economy, the Brazilian government eased environmental laws which allowed large tracts of rainforest to be cut down or burned. In three to five sentences, construct a potential chain of consequences for what can happen as a result of this kind of deforestation. The chain does not have to be linear (i.e., five steps in a row), but can have several branches, one for each different potential consequence. Your chain should include at least four steps, including the original event. make it short and write it like a 4th grader
1. Because of the eased environmental laws, large parts of the rainforest in Brazil are cut down or burned.
2. This deforestation destroys habitats for animals, like monkeys and jaguars, making them lose their homes.
3. Without the trees to help absorb carbon dioxide, greenhouse gas emissions increase, leading to more climate change.
4. The loss of trees also means less oxygen is being produced, which could lead to problems for people and the planet.
make it more like a sentence but say step 1 is to___
Step 1: The Brazilian government eases environmental laws, allowing large tracts of rainforest to be cut down or burned.
Step 2: Animals like monkeys and jaguars lose their homes due to deforestation.
Step 3: Greenhouse gas emissions increase as trees, which help absorb carbon dioxide, are removed.
Step 4: The decrease in oxygen production from trees could potentially lead to health and environmental issues.
