How about mistakes??
Insomma... correggete a più non posso!!!!!

NO FUTURE WITHOUT RAIN FORESTS
The earth has a big problem nowadays and this problem is strictly connected
to us and our future. We are talking about the rain forest disappearing.
These forests are really important in our planet for many reasons.
They are called the "green lungs" because they produce the most of the
oxygen of our atmosphere and, because of this, the climate of the entire
planet is in part regulated by them. If there were not rain forests the
earth would be warmer and this is exactly what is going to happen if we
continue to destroy them at the present rate. If it happens, as a
consequence, the sea levels may rise up and submerge many costal areas while
dry tropical regions might become deserts.
The forests we are talking of, also control the water supply on our planet.
So in the future we won't have enough fresh water if we destroy them.
There is another aspect to consider: half of our medicines are produced with
substances which come from this plants. As a matter of fact if we destroy
these plants we also destroy the substances we need for our medicines.
Some of the reasons for this destruction are to supply wood or to obtain
large lands to till and to produce food. The greatest culprits are
multinational corporations or furniture and building industries.
Another reason is that in many Third World countries people cut down trees
because they need firewood for their needs (such as cooking or heating the
homes). They also need more farm land to work in and their population is
growing up so they are forced to cut down more trees.
On the whole we must think about it and act as soon as we can because it's a
really big and important problem. We must act trying to solve it if we can
or, at least trying to make it not to grow worse by respecting the earth and
stopping cutting down trees to earn more and more money that. we can't
breath.

breath.
p.s. Quando si compra un mobile o un parquet verificare che non sia di
legno tropicale o comunque da una foresta coltivata con tecniche
sostenibili, esistono apposite certificazioni, mi pare.

 "to stop it from growing worse"?
O "prevent it from growing worse"?

"There were", comunque.
Giust!
