The Stump on the Hill uses the huge problem of deforestation and even in the problem that it is, there can be a bright side seen. this is a metaphor for many problems we have in life. I have done much research on deforestation and the main. the cause is climate change, so deforestation isn’t the issue, climate change is. And instead of dwelling on what has already happened, we need to get to work to make changes for our world.
