Trees do a great deal to help the environment. If we preserve them and allow them to grow, they prevent erosion, provide a larger animal habitat and produce more oxygen. It is imperative that we remember the importance of the trees here in the rain forest. We all hear about the different medicines and other beneficial items which are discovered in the world’s rainforests.
The size of our rainforests is continually diminishing. With continued population growth, the spaces on earth covered with trees will continue to decrease. We need to try to keep the reduction in forest size to a minimum. Thus it is important for all of us to vote with our dollars.
Support business and locales which treasure natural resources and do what they can to ensure the natural resources will be around for future generations. This means that we should all do what we can to learn what it takes to support the environment. Does it mean going 100% green or does it mean supporting those businesses who have the longevity to keep going over time? Eco tourism is difficult to define. How eco can you demand a location be when at home you use large amounts of fossil fuels to support your day to day life? Or is it best to learn what is sustainable and what we can do to slow the reduction in the world’s rainforests?
