In my internet travels, I came across this great site called PhotoBlip. It's great, really. Basically, people share various photos and quotes, and everyone else gets to look at them. Sounds stupid, but some of the photos are really incredible, and many very funny. There is this one photo I came across. It is of the rain forest, a view from above. The trees are formed into the shape of the lungs. The bottom right "lung" is brown, and dead. The title of this moving picture is "Before it's too late".
I let it sink in for a moment, and found myself marveling at the ignorance of the human race. We all know that trees give us oxygen, help balance our planet and our wastes. We all know that the rain forests are all ancient and magnificent, with trees that took centuries to grow and reach their full potential. We all know that hundreds of living creatures and plants live there, and only there. We know that by chopping it down, all those species, discovered an undiscovered, will die. And still. . . I'm just saying, we need to stop, before it's too late.
