#028 A Walk in the Woods

In this episode I am going to first try to convince you how important it is to take a walk in the woods on a regular basis. Then I am going to discuss how important that resource really is to all of us, how that resource is being destroyed and why, and what you can do about it. I am of course talking about deforestation.  

Deforestation causes climate change, global warming, soil erosion, species extinction, habitat loss, ocean acidification, loss of biodiversity, and food insecurity. Any one of these things could and would eventually produce devastating changes to life on Earth. For example, the simple loss of biodiversity reduces that amount of species available for a human food source. The way things stand now, humanity depends on only a handful of animals and plants for over 80% of our food supply. With extensive loss of biodiversity, we are producing significant insecurity in our food supply. 

Remember that in the end, our choices make changes. So learn to make different choices. 

At the end I of course want to give you an important parting thought that will hopefully encourage you to change your way of thinking about the planet on which we live. 

Remember to always live sustainable because this is how we build a better future.
