Environmentalists blame Indonesia's ecological problems on deforestation and government regulations, saying new laws and political will are needed to prevent a major catastrophe

The rainforests of the Brazilian Amazon, the most biologically diverse place on Earth, are shrinking by tens of thousands of square kilometers a year. About 60 to 70 percent of that deforestation occurs as rancher cut, burn and bulldoze trees, often illegally, to create pastures for the country?s burgeoning cattle industry. In recent years, Brazil has become the largest exporter of beef and, not coincidentally, one of the largest polluters in the world. Fires from the burning forests and the ovens that heat the wood into charcoal fill the skies. The cattle, too, are responsible for methane gases. ?Every year in the dry season, the rainforest is burning. If it?s not the rainforest, it?s the pastures,? says Lohuizen. Even nature preserves, such as Terra do Meio, are not safe from the illegal deforestation.

A couple are out enjoying the stars, but soon after their quiet evening is interrupted by an environmentalist who shows them how we as humans change our environment and ways in which we can help prevent climate change. Protect the Earth. Protect our future. And I know most of you will not find this machinima entertaining, but i didn't make it so it was entertaining in respects to your hopes. I'm very interested in this subject and felt i like producing a video detailing the subject matter. To those who enjoy, great! To those who don't, please do not go bashing it just because it isn't comedic or as thrilling as you hoped. Thanks :) In addition, the part in the video explaining how trees give off oxygen is true, although algae give off more and are in more need of protection than trees. But this does not mean trees do not affect our lifestyle.

Nobel Peace Prize Laureate Wangari Maathai, founder of the Green Belt Movement, says that all countries, industrialized and developing, must learn to live within their means. Maathai was in New York for the UN summit on climate change where she delivered an address yesterday. There have been promises from the major industrialized nations, including China and the United States, to take action on climate change but it is unclear whether they will come to a substantive agreement later this year in Copenhagen.Speaking of pledges and promises, what remains of the public option? Will it survive? Maggie Mahar, author of Money-Driven Medicine
