What are three things kids can do to save the rainforest?

Answer 1

1. Raise funds for organizations like the WWF (World Wildlife Fund). You can raise funds via a bake sale, lemonade stand, etc. Even a little

money can go a long way, because in foreign countries, a US dollar goes further. You can go to the related link to find out where to donate.

2. You can create a campaign to educate people to avoid palm oil. This is because it is grown on huge plantations, which are grown on cleared

rainforest land, and the more palm oil people buy, the more plantations expand into the rainforest habitat.

3. You can also create a campaign to educate people on buying Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) certified wood and paper products. This is

good because many if not most wood and paper products are harvested illegally and irresponsibly, and then imported to the US. This contributes

to deforestation of all kinds of forests, including rainforests, unlike FSC certified products, which are sustainably harvested. You might also want to

research which products are FSC certified for each category (for example, what are good paper towels, ink jet paper, etc.) This will make it much

easier for people to follow through on buying them. If you are interested, I can partner up with you on that if you send me a message.
