Earth Day


I think the most serious enviromental issue is the rainforest destruction.
This is because at the pace that our rainforests are being destroyed, all of them will be lost in 50 years! Not only that, but it is estimated that 137 species of animals are wiped out every day.

Frthermore, almost 70% of modern medicines com from rainforests, since most plants have anticancer properties. Scientists think that they have only discovered about 1% of the possible cures for cancer and other bad diseases that can be found in rainforests.

At the same time, we are affecting our water resources. Since all rainforests act as huge water pumps that balance water availability.They will help prevent floding and erosion during the rainy season, that will then keep the large rivers from running out of water during the dry.

Finally, I believe rainforests are the most important part of our planet.
