Indonesia,
coffee importnat crop other then oil asmost people drink coffee. There are 2 types of coffee, one is the Sun coffee and the other is shade coffee. What is the different?
Sun coffee are those that are grown on plantations.
Coffee plant in forest with the shade of natural trees are call shade coffee, at the same time it conserve of land. As economics rises there is an increase in demand of coffee. Sun grown coffee -- sun coffee which is a new hybrid, it is able to grow on plantations without the help of trees giving shade. Thus the trees has to be strip, change from shade grown, to sun grown, which cause problems like soil erosion and many animals lost its home due to the trees being chopped. Deforestation, expolitation of land the major culprits of increase in temperature, it has also greatly affect the plants to the extend of altering the harvest the ripening time of plants, Deforestation has cause, 20% effect on the increase in greenhouse gas, and caused climate clhange.
Bringing you to China:

koriyama, japan.
! great man, who has make a chopstick canoe, made of disposable chopstick. amount of chopsticks used: within 3 years he has 15 000 chopstick collected, he had the thinking of using this good wood, to make a boat as then he is able to rescue a wood. It was launch on world environment day Now he wish to use Name card, to make a boat. As much as we would like to stop people to reduce usage of the wooden chopsticks, but as it is so convienient for usage it is still are going on. DISPOSABLE CHOPSTICK I CHOSE U! is still what many people does.
Lets go to the trip to Cambodia,
forest are clear to give way to rice. slash and burn, only way that farmers know how to clear land. But Buddhist monk had make a plead,specially on world enivironment day. They feel EDUCATION, is the key, to teach the people to love their environment. They need not burn and slash to cut down trees. They give out trees, be it mango, etc for them to grow. They taught them forest is our lives and fo other animals too, no forest, means no lives, no family.By giving out the fruit tree not only to adults but to the students too, it has taught them to love trees. The growing trees are far more expensive then what they are made after they are cut down to make furnitures, paper, wooden chopsticks, etc..
The environment is priceless, and from there we have gain a lot of inspiration, so why allow human's WANT to destroy the forest which a lot of animals' NEED. A tree might be small, but it is still a home.
Thats all on Saving gaia.
