How many of you feel strong emotions when you pass construction sites where they are bulldozing trees and vegetation? I am for one.
Today is World Rainforest Day. It was created in 2017 to raise awareness of the importance of rainforests around the world for the health of the Earth, and ultimately for your health, too.
Really folks I need not go onto explain why cutting down rainforests is bad for our planetunless you have been living as a hermit in a cave for years, you should know why and take responsibility to be informed. One fact alone, Rainforests do many good things for the earth. 20% of the oxygen we breath, comes from rain forests.
You may think, why do I have to worry about rainforests it doesn't affect me?" Canada has no rainforests." That is where you are wrong, there is a rainforest on Vancouver Island in Canada. The biggest rainforest is the Amazon located in South America. However, as well as Canada there are rainforests all over the world.
So be informed find out why they are being cut down, boycott the companies who are doing it, for example Cadbury uses the land that was once a rainforest to grow palm trees that produce palm oil. Check out how many products we eat has palm oil in it. The sick joke is that palm oil is not even good for you.
Be informed!
