DEFORESTATION RESOURCES

Building our diets around GREEN-RATED foods is the most effective way to reduce deforestation around the globe. Forests provide wildlife habitat, help prevent erosion, stabilize climate, offer carbon sinks, and keep soil fertile. Cattle ranching is responsible for approximately 90% of deforestation in the Amazon Rain Forest. Farmed seafood is destroying environmentally critical mangrove forests. Palm oil, a favored ingredient in industrial junk food is decimating Asian forests. The best way to save our forests is to stop consuming RED-RATED foods, especially beef and industrial processed foods, and share this information with others.
