Deforestation, wherever it occurs, is a tragic rape of our ecology.
One of the biggest problems, is that it provides a huge boost to the economies of the third world, and emerging countries, where it happens.
It's easy for us to sit back in our relatively wealthy countries, with our advanced economies, and criticise.
A question we need to ask ourselves is: What are our governments doing, to help these developing countries, to develop their economies without destroying their ecologies.
The answer to that question I can tell you, is little or nothing.
We are happy to consume the products, that are made from the results of deforestation.
We are greedy, and self serving, and complacent.
We sit here in our, greed, and complacency, tut tutting at the corruption, and lack of real effort, put into ending the destruction, but if it means a penny on taxes, we don't want to know about helping, poorer countries to turn their economies around.
The video was indeed very powerful, but what it really illustrated, was the greed of the rich countries of the world.
In the end, in all things. Individuals, societies, and the world, gets what it deserves.
