***Remember that nearly half of all
plants and animals on earth live in the rainforest, and less than
sixty percent of the earth's service is rainforest. We rely on
rainforest for a lot, we need them to produce oxygen for us to
breath. Rainforest make forty per cent of the Earth's oxygen. It is
very important to conserve to protect the rainforests!***
Here are some things we can do to help...
|
Reduce how
much paper or wood you use! |
|
|
|
- Use less paper - most
paper comes form trees
- Use and buy recycled
products
- Use "tree-free" paper
- this paper is made without trees
- Recycling is
important
- Ask your family not
to buy things made from wood that comes from the
rainforest (mahogany, teak, rosewood, zebrawood)
|
|
- 90% of cleared
rainforests land is to make space to raise cattle
- For every hamburger
55 feet of forest must be chopped down
- Avoid fast food
places - most rainforest beef is sold in fast food
chains
