13. Our Planet's Lungs Are On Fire
Show Notes

The Amazon Rainforest has been on fire for 3 weeks now. This was caused by intentional burning of forests for cattle ranching. But the fire got out of control. It produces 20% of the global oxygen. If the planet is the body, the Amazon are the lungs. Now instead of oxygen being produced from there, the barren area is emitting carbon into the atmosphere. This is something that effects all of us. We decided to record this episode not to scare you but to bring awareness and start a conversation about it. Here are some verified charities who are aiding in this disaster

Here are links to their websites, listed in alphabetical order: 

Amazon Conservation Association

Amazon Conservation Team

Amazon Watch

Rainforest Foundation US

Rainforest Trust

Rainforest Action Network


If donating isn't an option for you, don't neglect the power of social media! Since this is an under reported disaster, just spreading awareness about it would be a great use of your platform!
