Destroying the rain forest is a real problem. Trees are, (in my view), the lungs of the planet.
People should be planting trees, NOT destroying them for short gain monetary gains!

@ZMacDougall That's the whole point of organic farming: eliminating chemicals and using natural things such as animal manure, compost, etc. That's how the natural cycle works and I don't think it can be worse than using artificial chemicals. Then if the manure is full of hormones and antibiotics, it's again non-organic farming's fault...

Economic development is also a big problem more than that because mostly it affects the environment.

[@alwayzAngry]

this is a complicated issue to say the least...

[@xJrBoothx]

There's enough food already in this world, we just throw too much away and don't share it with others, that's what needs to change!

[@urzsulaz2604]

Preserving life on this planet🌎 and caring for the environment is of particular interest to those who have generated descendants and / or those with a high level of perception and awareness. An economic model that destroys the environment creates an inadequate development model, a misperception, of false progress.

@7heAre7s
actually most of our breathable oxygen comes from photosynthetic plankton in the ocean... which also happen to be under threat from ocean acidification right now

Finally someone knows :)

[@yuugiho]

I just cant understand people who are so ambitious that they need so much land. And taken from the hands of people who require so little for their happiness.

[@jeepmann92]

@7heAre7s most of the world oxygen come form algae, it produces more amounts of oxygen then land plant/trees. although the trees are responsible for converting carbon dioxide in to oxygen, with that said losing the forest could possibly cause a climate increase then in turn may cause drought and other affects

@subteleferic22 Sadly this is quite true. Your relatives carry nearly the same genes you do, so if you help them you are indirectly passing your genes on. Not everyone needs to have kids :)

[@devi958]

#prayforamazonia true or not ? Somebody please tell me

[@krysatheo]

We need to stop having more than 2-3 kids, would solve so many problems like this one. Yeah some people need big families to survive but those people won't be reading this on youtube, so to everyone else just have enough kids to replace you and your mate, don't be selfish!

[@aciverson84]

Fuck fertilizers, I buy organic

[@subteleferic22]

@krysatheo too bad we're preaching to a bunch of starving sheep
