Increase the production of Rubber Trees to avoid deforestation

The Issue

Rubber has been one of the many things that we rely on for our daily routines. Be it for automobiles, machineries, your elevator in the office and even your belt that is strapped around your waist right now. However, its production have not been so friendly to our environment and even to us humans. 

Production of rubber can cause a lot of trouble if not handled properly. One of the most important material in producing it is rubber tree, which of course needs to be logged and processed in factories. This process can lead to deforestation, especially that it is getting less attention than it deserves. As we all know, deforestation is one of the biggest issues faced both locally and internationally, specifically in countries who are manufacturing a variety of products. We formed this petition to promote the planting of rubber trees in order to help our forests grow again, despite being logged down. Our voices would benefit not only us humans, but also our environment who is suffering more damage every year.
