A communication list for noting all the reasons why the rainforests must be preserved, and what we can do as individuals to stop their destruction. Planes flying over the rainforests today can see as many as 3,000 forest fires per day that are deliberately set to burn off the forest to create pasture for cattle to produce beef for human consumption--and humans would be better off not consuming beef at all! It is said that there is a cure in the rainforest for every ill that now befalls mankind--the sale of some of the products derived from the rainforests includes a percentage donation to preservation of the rainforests so that these "cures" can continue to be discovered.
