AMAZON FOREST PSA

listen you don't even know what kind of devastating effect the burning of the Amazonian forest is going to have:

Forests are not helping to combat CO2 the way you think they are: Let me explain

Everybody seems to think that because trees produce oxygen, the amount of oxygen is working against the amount of carbon dioxide in the air and thus, saving us from climate change => we need to plant more trees!

This isn't really why. (Ofc you should still plant trees)

The rain forest or forests in general aren't the best at combatting climate change. They're not even the most efficient. (Seaweed is!)

But trees bind CO2. They use it to grow. Trees are literally made out of carbon dioxide.

If you cut down ancient trees, you're setting free a huge amount of CO2 that is directly responsible for climate change!!!

The Amazon Rainforest is being destroyed, Brazil is burning down, people are getting sick and animals are dying. Nobody cares. But hey, let’s pray and cry over another marvel movie. I hope it’ll save the world ✌️

The Amazonian rainforest is being destroyed and no one pays attention.

The Amazon rainforest is being burned, cut down, animals are dying, the sky is turning black and red, the color of the rain is changing, it has been 3 weeks already, yesterday, August 19th, the sky in several Brazilian states turned dark at 3pm in the afternoon. Nobody is doing anything, people in my country are celebrating, fans of this current president are saying this is a good thing for the country and the world, they are laughing about it. Where is the commotion, where are the people crying like they did for Notre Dame, this forest is the life of the world, this forest is our air, the home of many natives, where is the commotion, where are the journalists, where is the news. Jesus fucking Christ, spread the news, talk about it, debate about, alarm people around, do something, because in my country, we don't know what to do anymore, we are desperate. I know that people elected this guy, but there are people in this country that don't deserve this, that place, that forest is our oxygen, is the home of a thousand of animals, innocent people, help us. This is urgent

Y'all. This is a fucking global emergency.

Some quick facts:

What is happening right now is an emergency that should be concerning all of us. The air we breath is at stake. This isn't exaggerating. Our lungs are destroyed as we speak and we are only just finding out.

This is our future. Are you upset about Spiderman? Same. Were you sad over Notre Dame? Same. But this is so much more important.

SPEAK UP. GET THIS KNOWN. Even if you can't do anything else, at least raise awareness to put some pressure out there on those who can do something. OUR HOME IS AT STAKE. The skies in Sao Paolo turned black. We are losing our most valued rainforest. WE CANNOT JUST SIT BACK.

The Amazon jungle is the world’s largest tropical rain forest and is home to the greatest variety of plants and animals on our PLANET

How to help Amazônia:

You can donate to SOS Amazônia which is one among the 100 NGOs selected as “The Largest NGOs in Brazil”.

> > > ( ENGLISH: //doe.sosamazonia.org.br/en ) < < <

And remember: - 1 USD is 4,04 reais. - 1 EUR is 4,47 reais. If you donate only $2,50 USD (10 reais) you’re helping a lot.

If you donate only $2,30 EUR (10 reais) you’re helping a lot. About people saying “the minimum value is $10”: Even if you’re not from Brazil you can donate in REAL instead of donating in USD or EUR via Paypal, so… YES, you can donate less than 10 dollars or euros. (Just don’t change the currency to USD or EUR, Paypal converts your dollars/euros to reais.)

Regarding the Amazon Rainforest

I barely have followers here, but here we go:

The Amazon Rainforest has been burning for the last 16 days straight. The Brazilian government says the wildfire is caused by the winter itself, since it doesn't rain a lot there... in a rainforest. It is actually, partially true. Winter is indeed a dry season and wildfires may happen, specially close to the Cerrado (a brazilian biome similar to the african Savanna), but what they're not telling us is that:

The deforestation has increased 80% since last year

The native peoples and animals are being slaughtered for their lands (legally protected green areas)

The government is hiding and lying about scientific data, saying that environmentalists and NGOs are communists trying to destroy the nation. They are brainwashing people to think that sustainability is terrible for the economy

Our Minister of Environment is couldn't care less about the environment and is only there to support the livestock producers and give them what they want. The President and his Minister won't put a single dollar on environmental safety

The wildfires are just so huge that its black smoke and ashes reached the skies of São Paulo, a state over 2.000 kilometers away from the Amazon.

We are hostages or our own government

I could just keep going all night about how our environment is being threatened by this new government. We need every single help we can possibly can.

Please don't let this go unseen. Search for yourself, talk to people about it, make noise, be angry and be scared. Let the world know about it and demand action. This is not about Brazil, is about the planet. The Amazon Rainforest is one of the most important biomes in the world, being responsible for the climate, rains, biodiversity, carbon sequestration and life itself.

Congratulations to 15 yr old Cori “Coco” Gauff, who after becoming the youngest player to ever qualify for Wimbledon, defeated her idol Venus Williams today to become the youngest player since 1991 to win in the first round of women’s singles. What an incredible story!
