Photograph #7

       Photograph #7 is the most effective to me. Its a picture of an Amazon rainforest being burned down by farmers to use that land for farming purposes. When I see this photo, I think about all the negative impacts that we have in our ecosystem and how we are gradually destroying just like the farmers that are burning down the rainforest.
       The second paragraph of the writing is the most powerful to me. "The Amazon rainforest, sometimes called 'the lungs of our planet,' produces 20% of the world's oxygen and contains the largest diversity of plants and animal species in the world". This is where the writing is effective, because it contains the important facts about rainforests that most people don't know about and makes them realize that rainforests are necessary to sustain our lives.
        Nature gives me oxygen to breath and grows food to eat. Oxygen means the most to me in nature, because we are currently polluting our environment and this causes less oxygen to be present and more carbon dioxide to be available.

  4. It really makes you appreciate a rainforest after reading that. Burning a rainforest causes great more danger to our ecosystem than we thought.

  7. It's sad to see people cutting down trees to farm when there is so much more land they can use to to do their farming.
