That's the, that's the rainforest. 46 00:02:50,902 --> 00:02:54,272 That's our soil, that's the air, that's where your children are going to be growing 47 00:02:54,306 --> 00:02:57,376 their food in the future. That's really what we're eating. 48 00:02:57,408 --> 00:03:00,545 The connection from the destruction of the rainforest 49 00:03:00,579 --> 00:03:03,415 to grow soy, to feed animals, 50 00:03:03,449 --> 00:03:07,453 to your burger on the table or your steak on the table, it's not easy to track. 51 00:03:07,485 --> 00:03:10,989 When we talk about soy, people should be clear, we are not talking about tofu. 52 00:03:11,022 --> 00:03:13,893 We're talking about a crop that is grown 53 00:03:13,925 --> 00:03:15,460 primarily for animal feed. 54 00:03:15,493 --> 00:03:19,632 About 70% of soy is grown for animal feed, 55 00:03:19,664 --> 00:03:23,668 as well as other non-direct food uses like biodiesel. 56 00:03:23,701 --> 00:03:26,871 When we say soy, we really are talking about meat. 57 00:03:26,905 --> 00:03:29,741 So, the soy that is grown in the Amazon 58 00:03:29,775 --> 00:03:33,346 primarily goes to the European and American markets. 59 00:03:33,378 --> 00:03:35,747 They ship the soy overseas, 60 00:03:35,781 --> 00:03:38,283 put them in these giant machines called crushers, 61 00:03:38,317 --> 00:03:40,453 and turn them into feed for livestock 62 00:03:40,485 --> 00:03:43,421 and then that's used to produce beef to feed people. 63 00:03:43,455 --> 00:03:46,725 And that's what we buy when, you know, you go to fast food chains. 64 00:03:46,758 --> 00:03:48,360 You're basically, in some ways, 65 00:03:48,394 --> 00:03:51,730 eating soy that was grown in the Amazon 66 00:03:51,764 --> 00:03:53,466 or other parts of South America. 67 00:03:55,067 --> 00:03:56,769 Fire has been used by people 68 00:03:56,801 --> 00:03:58,770 for thousands of years as a way 69 00:03:58,804 --> 00:04:01,039 to clear large forested areas. 70 00:04:01,073 --> 00:04:03,542 But why, in this day and age, 71 00:04:03,574 --> 00:04:05,710 are modern farmers still using 72 00:04:05,743 --> 00:04:08,615 this devastating and unsustainable practice? 73 00:04:09,814 --> 00:04:11,584 People are burning the forest to plant soy 74 00:04:11,616 --> 00:04:13,352 because it's the easiest way to do it. 75 00:04:13,384 --> 00:04:15,987 You can go into an area that has been undeveloped, 76 00:04:16,021 --> 00:04:18,858 cut it down, burn it, grow soy and sell it to companies. 77 00:04:18,891 --> 00:04:21,394 Large international corporations 78 00:04:21,427 --> 00:04:22,628 will give you the funds to do it. 79 00:04:22,661 --> 00:04:25,463 So, when a forest in the Amazon is 80 00:04:25,497 --> 00:04:29,735 cut and burned, it puts a lot of nutrients into the soil. 81 00:04:29,767 --> 00:04:32,404 Once the forest is burned down, you can grow soy in it, 82 00:04:32,437 --> 00:04:34,372 you might be able to get a crop or two, 83 00:04:34,406 --> 00:04:36,007 but eventually it's just going to dry out. 84 00:04:36,040 --> 00:04:38,843 Uh, tropical rainforests aren't, uh, made 85 00:04:38,877 --> 00:04:41,646 to continuously grow crops in that way. 86 00:04:41,680 --> 00:04:43,649 They generally will burn the forest, 87 00:04:43,682 --> 00:04:45,384 grow something, and then move on. 88 00:04:45,416 --> 00:04:48,019 When you have an entire economic system 89 00:04:48,052 --> 00:04:50,790 that is based on destroying the rainforest 90 00:04:50,822 --> 00:04:52,324 and selling it to consumers, 91 00:04:52,358 --> 00:04:54,326 it's going to take some real agitation 92 00:04:54,360 --> 00:04:55,495 in order to change that. 93 00:04:56,795 --> 00:04:59,699 Global warming is a controversial topic, 94 00:04:59,732 --> 00:05:02,468 but many scientists believe that deforestation 95 00:05:02,500 --> 00:05:04,969 plays an important role in the process. 96 00:05:05,002 --> 00:05:09,541 Fewer forests means more greenhouse gases entering the atmosphere, 97 00:05:09,574 --> 00:05:13,478 which in turn increases the severity of climate change. 98 00:05:13,512 --> 00:05:15,413 In the Amazon in particular, 99 00:05:15,447 --> 00:05:17,415 and, and other rainforests as well, 100 00:05:17,449 --> 00:05:19,752 once you cut down the existing vegetation, 101 00:05:19,785 --> 00:05:22,521 it's not going to grow back into a rainforest, 102 00:05:22,553 --> 00:05:25,657 it's going to turn into a much drier type of ecosystem, 103 00:05:25,690 --> 00:05:27,792 a non-native ecosystem, 104 00:05:27,826 --> 00:05:30,563 and that's going to be extremely prone to fire 105 00:05:30,596 --> 00:05:32,631 as well as the fact that all of that carbon 106 00:05:32,663 --> 00:05:35,433 that had previously been stored in that forest 107 00:05:35,466 --> 00:05:37,402 has now been released into the atmosphere. 108 00:05:37,435 --> 00:05:38,971 It seems like climate change, 109 00:05:39,004 --> 00:05:42,141 people are slowly starting to take it seriously 110 00:05:42,173 --> 00:05:45,144 and one of the ways to fight climate change 111 00:05:45,177 --> 00:05:48,080 is through carbon sequestration. Oceans and the rainforests 112 00:05:48,112 --> 00:05:50,783 are the best places for carbon sequestration. 113 00:05:50,815 --> 00:05:54,887 So, rather than the tropical rainforest serving 114 00:05:54,920 --> 00:05:58,624 as a carbon sink that keeps carbon out of the atmosphere 115 00:05:58,656 --> 00:06:00,925 and helps mitigate against global warming, 116 00:06:00,959 --> 00:06:02,828 when you cut it down and burn it, 117 00:06:02,860 --> 00:06:04,629 you're sending all of that carbon out 118 00:06:04,663 --> 00:06:06,966 and you're, you're causing a major emission 119 00:06:06,999 --> 00:06:11,103 of greenhouse gases in a system that should be trapping greenhouse gases. 120 00:06:11,136 --> 00:06:15,174 And...
