Stop Deforestation

Submitted 3 months ago by ungkyn

So how can we stop deforestation? Luckily, technology can help. Check out the above video to see how satellite video can be used to track illegal logging and help curb our appetite for forests. Already non-governmental organizations in Brazil are using similar technology to combat their deforestation problem.
 
On a personal level we can help curb deforestation by making responsible choices as consumers. Start by checking out Greenpeace's guide for recycled toilet paper, and go here to urge the largest toilet paper manufacturer in the world to get on the road to sustainability.
 
And if that's not hands on enough for you, here are some tips on planting your own tree, from the Department of Agriculture.
