Immiserations

Everyday Extinctions

Covered in crude
Black beach
Hell’s coast

Truckfuls of trees
Clear cut
Denuded forest

Rich as Croesus

What I’m Reading:

“Deforestation currently adds about a billion tons of carbon to the atmosphere annually, which is twenty per cent or more of the amount produced by the burning of fossil fuels. And that acre of rainforest, which has poor soil and can support crops for only a few years, soon turns to desert or to pastureland.”
