Especially when you are a US citizen and the US still produces the most CO2.
Even when most western leaders would want to reduce deforestation it's not that easy to do it in a way that the developing countries are happy with. |
I totally agree. We, as people from developed countries, are in no position to tell developing countries they can't harvest trees. Its like the pot calling the kettle black. If we are so concerned about deforestation, we should focus on increasing the number of trees in our country. We shouldn't tell the other country to keep their forests so that the co2 we produce won't have as big as an impact.
