Every Step Counts To Save the Amazon

[tdalmeida1]

For Americans Organizations: Brasil is not a Iraq!

[lameirasp]

The deforestation is real, not only in brasil, but it doest happen in the way that you think. Come to brasil and see, but just if you are interested in learn something. Somenthing more than the TV shows you, bullshit.

[lameirasp]

you americans do everything to have more money, polute the world more than any other country and create more weapons and wars more than everyone. You think that you are the only one in the world and that you know averything. You dont know brasil and you dont know what is really going on. Im agaist the deforestation too. You accept everything that the TV show you , stop being idiot and try to change the image that the world has about the you, the image of the one that only think about himself!

[Jimmyretired]

@lameirasp we rule the world stop being jealous, we have nukes and can kill everybody, I am not interested about the state of the plannet, I want to enjoy life

[phillip549]

did you know there are over 3000 things in the rain forrest that cause cancer and every year 500 people die in its jungles please help destroy the rainforrest before its to late

[laurens890]

@phillip549 Well 70 % of all potential cancer medicines are found in tropical rainforests only. Farmaceutical companies are just starting to discover this undiscovered wealth and abundance of helpfull plant species which are currenly wiped out before our eyes.

@laurens890 thanks for playing

THE ANSWER, according to the Cousteau Society, ACEER and many others in the scientific community, to saving the Amazon Rain Forest is creating a viable economic use of sustainable agriculture: AKA the Amazon Herb Co.

It could be a "Dying Planet" but not yet "Dead" .

What if someone you loved is dying, still you wouldn't want them dead yet ? Rather, you would try to do whatever you could.

Think . ?

[laurens890]

The logging industry is also a very big driver of deforestation. Even FSC logging, using reduced-impact logging, kills 5-10 trees per tree that is harvested. The rotting trees create emormous amounts of greenhouse gasses. It makes the forest very vulnerable to fire also.

[Qarioca]

This has been going on for decades, only now people are waking up to this???? A bit too late now.... This is now a DYING PLANET!

[goldenlight7]

Good going Greenpeace! It is important to show the world how important it is to stop supporting the very industry that will destroy our planet if we don't change our ways. Switch to a vegan diet and halt global warming in it's tracks! The amazon is the lungs of our planet and if we keep deforesting it we are removing a very important source of oxygen- without which we will die.

[TheEminenthistorian]

Antropological golbal warming is a complete lie, the planet has cooled down and warmed up over millions of years and will continue to do so. What do people think brought us out of the last ice age, coal burning furnaces!

[goldenlight7]

I don't know how well you know this information, because in an Inconvenient Truth they actually show that the current rate of climate acceleration is mammoth and it's never been like this through our entire history. Even though there were periods of warming, it never went off the charts like it's stared doing over the last few years.

[jacklint2]

@goldenlight7 It has been recorded as cooling consistently this year. IT IS ALMOST LIKE THE WEATHER CHANGES!?!!

[rodray81]

This is absolutely deceiving to the 10th degree. As an environmental resource graduate who cares deeply for the enviroment you fools at green peace are barking up the wrong tree. It is truely lack of knowlegde on your behalf. What a waste of time and effort. I feel stupid for watching this clip. I hope someone flags this video;)

[FireMyCat]

People like you are morons. While a little global warming might have happened over the years, its never been as much as it is now. How is human pollution not contributing to the acceleration of global warming? People like you are diluted! Research your facts! Aside from all the greenhouse gases and water wasted in meat production, there is also the impact on the area it is produced in, according to every major scientist who ever did any research.

[FireMyCat]

You may have been an environmental resource graduate, but you didn't learn much, and whatever little you did learn, it didn't stick. I hope you get hit by a car and end up suffering in the hospital forever. It's people like you that are ruining the environment!

[Rhiaden]

Great video.

Part of looking after our planet is being aware of where the things we buy come from.

As homeproject shows, we are all connected..destroying the rainforest can have a potentially devestating impact on us.

Aside from all the greenhouse gases and water wasted in meat production, there is also the impact on the area it is produced in, as this shows.

@ Theeminenthistorian...most of us have :) I have only lived in a place with more than 2000 peopl for the last 3 years.

[Qarioca]

Yes, and they've been cutting it down for decades food agriculture to feed cows etc which is the major contributor of Methane gas and other pollutions to this planet.

[freddieTheAwesome]

Greenpeace is an environmental organisation. The presence of the meat industry in this campaign is incidental (beside the prevalence of poor environmental practices among many meat producers). The vege/vegan discussion lies elsewhere.

Nice vid greenpeace.

[veganb12]

An opportunity missed by Greenpeace to endorse veganism ie. not eating beef as well as wearing leather. Rain forest destruction is a crime against our fellow animals and planet.

[Niljakes]

fuck the greenpeace, kill religions, everyone is happy!

[jeweetwelcaspar]

yeah... for now...

[acoide]

Now will everyone see that vegetarian/vegan is important, not just for ethical issues? Greenpeace pick this up!

[jkkvideo]

Stop cutting trees. They give us oxygen. Even kids know that. Do we all want to be suffocated? Trees are also healing. They have healing herbs etc. Please save the trees, and save ourselves.

[jkkvideo]

Animals are also our brothers and sisters. Man, please wake up. If we eat them now, later we will be eaten. This law of universe will never make mistakes. When we eat animals, we are actually eating our own flesh. Do you want to die just because of appetite?

[Qarioca]

Organic farming takes the poisons out of our environment and a vegan diet addresses the number one cause of greenhouse gasses: LIVESTOCK PRODUCTION

[Qarioca]

Eating of animals is the greatest pollution to this planet, STOP IT NOW! And everything will be fixed!

[TheEminenthistorian]

What a load of way out hippies posting here. I bet not one of you stepped outside of a city in your entire lives. Thank people like ye are still a small minority.

[jeweetwelcaspar]

you dont no that!

[renatashows]

Be Veg people!! IT's the only way to save our planet! People need to start saying that it is not acceptable. Greenpeace should have mentioned meat in this video!!

[renatashows]

I am wondering...where is the "go veg" message in this video...why don't they link it to people's palates as well?? Are Greenpeace vegan??

[WhaleboyProductions1]

These companies need to be told right here right now very effective greenpeace

[PBLEY]

McDonald's is also one of the biggest culprits of rain-forest destruction, for their meat comes from the same cattle.

[8394147]

Wow. Why aren't people boycotting these companies? That's the bottom line they will listen to: dollars and cents.

[lesliebarrantes]

shocking!!

[white2007]

I guess this means we should also reduce our meat consumption or even better go vegan to reduce our greenhouse gases. Because deforestation due to livestock industries happens in other countries too.

[1kerrbear]

It would be nice if these companies would make vegan shoe alternatives for those of us that would rather not wear dead animals on our bodies.

[billiondollarbabi]

I know there are littleor no alternatives for those of us who don't want to wear clothes/shoes that are produced by child labour, killing the rainforests, killing our environment and killing animals.

It's actually disgusting that you cannot buy something that isn't tainted with either death or exploitment.

[rickgentry]

Right on - I'd rather walk barefoot than know that I was killing the Amazon. I'll be telling these companies that my feet are out of their shoes till they get out of the Amazon.

[D3l1ghT]

'these companies': ow shit, let's stop this madness because this boy doesnt want to wear shoes anymore...

I laughed

[dpomer01]

Right on Greenpeace. The Amazon acts as the planet's lungs. Its destruction is rapidly sending us toward climate catastrophe. As consumers, we should all tell these shoe and clothing companies that we will not continue to support them with our business unless they get OUT of the Amazon.

[Tw33k19]

this is great!! i never knew that my atheletic shoes were doing this kinda damage. I would rather see more scientific footage and knowledge (that's just me) but if it's destroying the rain forest then we need to stop pushing the amazon out.

[ricksterr14]

hey tw33k19 (and everyone else) -- you can get the scientific info by searching "slaughtering the amazon" on google -- that's the name of the report. as this is youtube, i think GP tried to keep the video short and intriguing

[lesismore8888]

Great video! It's shocking, but important for us to understand how some leather is tied to rainforest destruction and climate pollution.
