Save the animals, save the trees, stop deforestation please!


Thank you for visiting my blog. Deforestation needs to stop fast, it helps CO2 choke up our planet, please take a small amount of your time to read through and maybe you’ll join the battle to stop it!

• When trees are cut down, carbon dioxide is released into the atmosphere, do we really need to contribute to global warming even more?
• Thousands of species of animal are killed due to deforestation, fantastic animals like orang-utans and exotic birds will become extinct.
• A whopping 24 square km of rainforest is destroyed every hour. If it continues at this great speed, all the rainforests will be gone by 2050.
• Why kill the rainforest? Why destroy all these wonderful rare plants when all you end up with, is bare barren land, with dry, dead tree stumps?
• We must stop this, before long, plants that may contain the cures for life threatening diseases such as cancer may be dead and disposed of, whilst millions of sufferers of these diseases helplessly sit, still uncured.

Please give me feedback about my blog by posting a response below - I would appreciate it very much!

* Before reading my blog, had you heard about the deforestation problem?
* Do you now know more about the issue?
* Has my blog changed your opinion? If so, why?
* Would you now spread the word and join online groups like ‘The Prince’s Rainforest Project’, to do your bit to keep the rainforests?
* Also, if you have a Face book account, would you consider joining my group, ‘Let’s save the rainforests?’

  6. * Before reading my blog, had you heard about the deforestation problem?
    Yes
    * Do you now know more about the issue?
    Yes, despite knowing alot before you have managed to throw up a few facts I didn't know.
    * Has my blog changed your opinion? If so, why?
    No, it hasn't changed my opinion as I allready disagreed with deforestation, but it has reinforced my opinion and made me think alot more about it.
    * Would you now spread the word and join online groups like ‘The Prince’s Rainforest Project’, to do your bit to keep the rainforests?
    I would spread the word to as many people as I could, but there are so many groups and cause so I wouldn't join a charity etc.
    * Also, if you have a Face book account, would you consider joining my group, ‘Let’s save the rainforests?’
    Yes I would.
