You have a point McGrath, but, let's not forget about the rape of the rain forest. Not only are they killing it to the tune of thousands of acres per month, but, burning it as well. It is well known that the soil there is poor, and, they have to move on every 2 or 3 years because crops totally deplete it. Then, all thay have left is bare unfertile ground which is subject to erosion. This is what happened in Etheopia and Somalia..they literally wore out their land. That rain forest is the "lungs" of the planet. How many of us have purchased things like nuts from the rain forest?
