 We're not talking about the normal "house" where we sleep, eat, grow, etc. But it is the Earth. The only astronomical object known that can harbor life.

 It is only one but what are we doing to it? Why are we destroying our Mother Earth?

Deforestation is the clearing, destroying, or otherwise removal of trees through deliberate, natural or accidental means.
The loss of trees and other vegetation can cause climate change, desertification, soil erosion, fewer crops, flooding, increased greenhouse gases in the atmosphere, and a host of problems for indigenous people.
