We are now constantly being confronted by the dire developments that we see, feel and hear of the environment we live in. Concern of the impact to the environment is not just a recent thing. Problems such as air and water pollution date back to Roman times. Epidemic diseases spreading across Europe from the 14th to the 16th century were directly influenced by pollution. Awareness of conservation efforts may be a hot topic today but actually date back nearly 2,000 years where soil conservation was practiced in India, China and Peru.
However too often the core issues, updates and possible solutions regarding our global environment are lost in competing pronouncements and interjected with emotionalism from a wide range of well intention organizations. We at Forest.com will try to keep things simple while not over simplifying, we will provide environment updates from sources that want to inform not scare and finally we just want to communicate in a thoughtful and broad perspective the latest developments, initiatives and solutions impacting you the user.
