I don't understand why humans destroy things. Destroy life, destroy harmony, destroy love... all for the perceived happiness of money. Money is meaningless after you have it. People need to redefine what their thoughts about success and health are.

20 football fields per minute Our Earth is skinned alive. 50% tropical trees are gone And every house is a quote of forests. 20% world’s oxygen the Amazon Votes they’re like trees, we need forests. 25% cancer cures come from Amazon So burn a Monet to warm porridge. 20% greenhouse gases from deforestation So print money from the rainforests to save them. 30% covered by rainforests, now 5 Still we cut our family tree. 60% rainforests clearing for cattle Nation that destroys soils destroys itself. 50% world’s organisms live in rain forests Elephants survive if forests survive. Trees are man’s best friend but man has treated trees as his worst enemy.
