Dear Mr. Barker,
Thank you for contacting NRDC and sharing your concerns about
the Peruvian rainforest, Wyoming ’s Red Desert , and other environmental
issues. NRDC is currently working to protect the Tahuamanu Rainforest in Peru ,
which is one of our BioGems: http://www.savebiogems.org/tahuamanu/. You can take action on this site by sending a letter to the Peruvian government asking them to do their
part to curtail illegal mahogany exports: http://www.nrdconline.org/campaign/biogems_tahuamanu_0407
In regards to what you can do to help, you are correct that
solar energy is a good place to start. Small changes to our lifestyles, like
switching to compact fluorescent light bulbs, recycling and composting,
installing solar panels, being careful about electricity and water usage, and
choosing a more environmentally-friendly car like a hybrid are all ways to help
the environment. Remember that you can take action also by letting your
Representatives, Senators, and other legislators know how you feel about
certain issues that are important to you on our Action Fund website: http://www.nrdcactionfund.org/campaigns/mobilizing-america-for-our-environment.html

environmental efforts!

Dear concerned citizen,
I have realized
for a while about your statement that the majority of Americans have no idea
that purchasing these products they are driving the destruction of Peru 's
rain forests and threatening the survival of vulnerable indigenous
communities.
The price of freedom
is eternal vigilance, as the RSPCA and the Abolitionists learned in the
nineteenth century. Neither the government or business will ultimately
protect our rights, it is our duty.
It is up to us to
stop the loggers armed with guns. It us up to us to bring this to the
public attention.
People learn; I have
never in my life seen any baby seal skin, so I know the market has been
limited for more than fifty years to rare individuals, which means there is a
strong boycott of clubbing baby seals.
What can I do to
help?
