You Have the Power to Help Save the Rainforests by Going Tree-Free! The Tree Free Guide can help you do it.
People use a lot of paper. This is a problem because most paper is made out of wood-pulp, which comes from trees. About two billion trees are cut down every year just to make paper. Many of these trees are from old growth forests that have been growing for thousands of years and have not yet been
disturbed. When these forests are destroyed, the native people and animals who lived in the forests lose their homes and their source of food.
