Here's what you can do to help the burning, ravaged Amazon rainforest

The Amazon rainforest is experiencing a record-breaking number of fires — they can be seen from space. Here's what you can do to help.

“The fires have created a layer of smoke estimated to be 1.2 million square miles wide, and the loss of forest is devastating for mitigating global warming. The #rainforest is meant to absorb #carbon, not produce it.

And while it might seem overwhelming and devastating, and far removed from everyday life, there are things that can be done. Here are some ways you (and Logan Paul) can make a difference. You can call, email, or write to your elected officials or the US State Department and encourage them to act the way you would like them to, to raise this issue in their official roles.The burning and deforestation of the Amazon rainforest will have lasting effects on the global climate. It might be in a different country, but members of Congress can still take action.“
