How you can help change deforestation

After all this information, have a think about what you can do personally.  Most likely you won't start a company and start fundraising.  Here are some tips:

1. Eat less meat.  As we said in the previous pages, agriculture is a really big part of deforestation.  Most of that comes from cattle ranching, I am not saying you should cut beef off your diet, but eating less beef would really help.

2. Use less Paper.  Paper isn't a really big part of deforestation but this could help the environment too.  Paper is a really useful thing so start simple like using a handkerchief instead of a tissue or use both sides of your paper.

3. Tell others.  Doing things yourself is great but if many people contribute, it would be better.  You can tell people about deforestation and tell them these tips.  

4. Donate money.  Lot's of Charities like The Natures Conservancy, WWF, Masarang and Greenpeace help solve this problem.  When you donate to them, they can help save the forest.
