Get involved in saving the rainforest!

By Pax Sanchez

In order to understand to what extend deforestation affects us all, we need first to understand and realize two things; how much we get out of rainforests and the abundance of life living within rainforests.

Rainforests are places that work as oxygen factories, trees take as much CO2 as they possibly can and convert it into breathable air or oxygen through photosynthesis. If we were to shut down these factories, I don't think there is a single person who could not see the chaos the world would become. I would like to mention as well that these factories also do another great and selfless act; they fight global warming and the green house effect by reducing the levels of CO2 in the atmosphere! Did I mention trees take care of these two specific chores just by existing and remain standing! It is beyond me why a person or corporation would destroy these magnificent places of well being and rich fauna which do humanity so much good.

As I said before in a prior post, there is no point trying to stop cities from developing and the ever growing need of more space for us living in this planet, but I am sure we all can do a lot more in order to stop reckless deforestation.
The rainforest are places of rich life, its constant hot climate and abundance of water through rain make of it a boiling stew of life! From all the insects which feed off an infinite array of flowers to the birds, monkeys, snakes, dolphins, alligators, big cats, and all the other species which are an intricate part of the whole planet's balance. Rainforests are rich sanctuaries to many forms of life, absolutely necessaries to the equilibrium of the planet's ecosystem.

These are some of the reasons why we all need to get involved today and start doing something. You don't need to make great changes in your life, maybe using less paper today at the office or plant a tree in your backyard, donate a tree online, etc!

Getting involved is easy, all it takes is determination and you will be making a huge different every day and setting a good example on your children and those around you.

Get out there and help us save the rainforests!
