    These are some very interesting facts. With all this information out there about deforestation and global warming you would think there would be more strides to save our planet. We may not see the effects of all of it now but what will the world be like for our children and our children's children.

    Deforestation just really makes me furious I hate how we are pretty much killing ourselves slowly. And all the animals that dye because of us they're living things as well they feel pain as well. :(
