Dear Poor Lucky Me,<\/p>\n
I was just watching TV and some one said that we lose a football field size of rain forest every hour.\u00a0 Could that be true?\u00a0 I didn’t realize people were still cutting it down, wasn’t that an issues in the 90’s?\u00a0 How big is the rain forest anyway?\u00a0 Hearing that statistic made me throw all my glass and plastic into the garbage with hopelessness.<\/p>\n
Signed,<\/p>\n

Dear Getting Off,<\/strong><\/p>\n I think that the commonly accepted estimate is that 1.2 billion acres of rain forest are left of the Amazonian Rain Forest. \u00a0The internet says that a football field is\u00a0approximately\u00a01.3 acres. \u00a0So I’m not a mathamatician, but it seems like there is still time to pull your recyclables out of the garbage and get back into saving the planet.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n People are still cutting the rain forest down. \u00a0In fact, I thing the Green Peace tools who camp out in front of my building must have cut a few acres down for their lame ass propaganda pamphlets. \u00a0I’m not saying that they don’t do important\u00a0work, because I really don’t know what the hell they do. \u00a0I just know that they bother me when I’m trying to rush to my car for a quick nap when I say I’m going to the post office or to get lunch. \u00a0I really don’t need a guilt trip right before a nap. \u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n Anyway, keep trying to be\u00a0environmentally\u00a0conscious. \u00a0I think it’s worth the effort, if for nothing else than building a global community other than the ones built by McDonalds and Starbucks.<\/strong><\/p>\n Sincerely,<\/strong><\/p>\n Poor Lucky Me<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Dear Poor Lucky Me, I was just watching TV and some one said that we lose a football field size of rain forest every hour.\u00a0 Could that be true?\u00a0 I didn’t realize people were still cutting it down, wasn’t that an issues in the 90’s?\u00a0 How big is the rain forest anyway?\u00a0 Hearing that statistic … Continue reading “Friday, April 18th”<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-267","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.poorluckyme.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/267","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.poorluckyme.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.poorluckyme.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.poorluckyme.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.poorluckyme.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=267"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"http:\/\/www.poorluckyme.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/267\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":3815,"href":"http:\/\/www.poorluckyme.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/267\/revisions\/3815"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.poorluckyme.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=267"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.poorluckyme.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=267"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.poorluckyme.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=267"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
