because they way we are going is not sustainable. If we keep using fossil fuels at the rate we are we will all be dead. We need to think about the future not just of us, but our kids too. Even if we all did a small act like writing your elected officals it would add up.

How is your diet currently impacting deforestation? What can you do to decrease your negative impact and increase your positive impact?
Claire Haase 4/23/2018 4:33 PM
i learned that a lot of the food i eat is made by mono cropping. that means that to get this much land people would have to tear down many acers of tree. things i could do is buy locally and support local farmers and business. i also could try and cut foods like vegtable oil out of my diet. of many people did this it would make a big change.
