[1]While the Amazon may seem far away, we are all closely connected to it through our actions. Now there are largely the results of great demand for forest products and agriculture land, which makes its plant and animal species in danger. Fortunately, we can help save the Amazon rainforest by making the right choices in our daily lives. By being smart consumers, we can make a difference and help reduce human pressures on the forests and rivers.
[2]Look for forest products that you don’t need to destroy forests to get. We can choose many rainforest products like Brazil nuts and coffee, which can be got without destroying forests. And at the same time the money you provide can help local people to _______________.
[3]Recycle everything possible. Such items as batteries, cloth, glass, paper in our daily life can be recycled with different techniques. For example, the collected glass pieces are taken to a glass recycling factory where they are made into new glass bottles through a series of processing.
[4]Buy the right pets. Many wild animals are illegally caught in the Amazon and sold as pets and large numbers of these animals die in the process. It’s important to ask where the animal comes from and to require a store to give you proof when you decide to buy a pet.
