252_What Can Be Done About Deforestation

There are so many times that I sit in front of my cabin enjoying the fact that I am completely surrounded by trees. During the 29 years that I have owned this property, I have always been determined to leave it in it’s original state as much as possible. That is why it is difficult for me to imagine that deforestation is one of the critical environmental issues of our time.

Living where and how I do, it is difficult for me to see or even feel the magnitude and effects of deforestation. At the rate we are going, it is estimated that our planet will be devoid of trees in 300 years. And that is the focus of this episode, the magnitude and effects of deforestation and what we can be about it.
