    I am an author/Amazon explorer and I travel to the Amazon rainforest about every eight weeks. While in the jungle I learned that the government has sold logging rights to Canada and China. Currently we lose 1 ½ Acres of rainforest every second.

    While talking to the natives about this disturbing news they decided to prove that the rainforest is more profitable standing, preserved, and pristine than it is clear-cut and destroyed.

    By creating artwork from renewable resources they have provided an micro-enterprise opportunity for themselves. They are preserving their culture as well as proving to the government preservation is more profitable. Please visit this website www.AmazonArtists.com to see some of their Amazing work, one native hand carved an Amazon themed guitar body , it is out of this world!!! , and they ever hand weave beautiful bracelets to symbolize their cause.

    Please pass this note off to your friends.

    WELL--unless we use lots of GMO food [which lots of 'hippies' are againt] the land could be used to farm [although better farming practices do need to be used...

    that being said--mass deforestation sucks :(

    Does this mean than Canada intends to stock or introduce the MIGHTY BEAVER GOD! YIPES! This is just plain awful!


    Fuck everything, the rain-forest included. Who wants to be bitten or eaten by snakes?

    KILL THEM ALL!
