Deforestation: How The Earth's Lungs Are Dying

Wildfires, Logging, Agriculture, Urbanization are just a few of the ways in which our forests are being destroyed. Not only do trees reduce carbon from the environment, when they die, they release carbon into the atmosphere.

Climate change is occurring at an almost unstoppable rate, and the destruction of these forests is a massive accelerator. Deanne and Taylor talk about ways in which you can decrease your contribution to deforestation.
