Because deforestation is one of the leading causes of climate change, not only does this loss threaten the survival of many indigenous communities such as the Kayapó, it impacts people the world over. Often called the "lungs of the earth"...

I am working on ending the madness of growth and development.

I have no children, and plan on one child and adoption. I installed UV reflective/wind protection coating on my windows, and added attic insulation to R30. I have been flexitarian since May, 1992.

I did not vote for Senator John McCain.

We are beginning to take matters into our own hands - hybrid vehicles have been on the market for years, electric cars are now on the market.
