Destroying rain forest
for economic gain
is like burning a Renaissance painting
to cook a meal.

A little rainforest would be just what we need here – we had our first snow this weekend. Weekly Photo Challenge: Foreign

Excellent quote. Where were the rainforest pics taken?
Thanks. I took the pics in the Masoala Rainforest exhibit in the Zurich Zoo.
Not to mention that destroying the rainforest is foolhardy. Some of the medicines that I am currently taking in my battle against Lyme disease come from the rainforest. Many of the herbals that my acupuncurist uses are becoming hard to get because they are becoming over-harvested.
So true! And we don’t even know what we are losing, as we don’t even know all the species that live in it.
Such a thought provoking verse. True indeed and scary. Fantastic pictures.
Yes it is. But we humans apparently can’t stop destroying things.
