I'm starting to realize the impacts of messing with mother nature. I understand we need to make adjustments as a human race to survive and live and I'm not trying to take some "this would work in theory" approach. HOWEVER I think we mess with things we shouldn't be messing with. For example deforestation and drudging the wetlands. The effects of Hurricanne Katrina (which I lived through among others) would not have been as bad if the residents near the wetlands didn't cause the wetlands to recess.
Jane Goodall has always been someone I looked up to, I think we all have. She talks about the effects of deforestation on the animal life. Did you know the wild chimp population of Tanzania (where she studied chimps) has gone from over a million to about 150,000 due to deforestation?
If you're interested in knowing more I recommend reading up on this site and also watching Hurricane On The Bayou. There are things you can do to help, like not using bags and recycling, and buying recycled paper.
