QQC

rain forest article one
quote:two decades an estimated two million acres were cleared annually, an area more then half the size of Connecticut.
i think this it really sad and even though government has slowed down illegal logging and exporting for awhile i don't think thats good enough even though Indonesia provides 86 percent of the worlds supply we need to start looking at other alternatives.

freshwater article two
quote: "to many users for not enough water"

I really thought this part of the reading was interest it talks about how it was good got 300 generations and that you could start to feel it in the tress and in the fish poor condition that the river was suffering and there were all these signs. and that the underlying source of this problem was a resource crises and to me that is very true and really scary because as we become more over populated we will run in to much more troubles with are water and earth as a whole.

desert article 3
quote: "rats, everywhere"
i think its really gross but interesting because i did not know that and something i found more interesting is that two thirds of all known extinction worldwide has been on islands.
