Damaging the Amazon rain forest, one of the most iconic and well-known rain forests known to man, just to get oil is simply inexcusable. The US's hunt for crude oil is coming with disastrous consequences and needs to be rectified. By tearing down the Amazon trees, hurtful greenhouse gases are rising into the air, damaging the air quality around us. Corporations shouldn't be able to hurt the environment like this. It makes me angry.
