What can save the rainforest? Your used cell phone
This Ted talk discusses illegal logging, how it negatively impacts Earth, and ways in which we can limit and stop this practice. The speaker's main focus is on using cell phones to stop illegal logging. He says that they can be used to pick up the sounds of chainsaws in the rain forest and then the phone can contact authorities in the area to stop the logging. I personally think that this is a very inventive and interesting idea if it is used effectively and could potentially be very beneficial in the cause to stop illegal logging.

This is such a good and easy way that miltiple people could get involved in helping to save the rainforst. Many of us have phones that are capable of doing this but they arent put to good use. Knowing that people are using their phones to track down deforestation of the rainforest might influence people not to do it anymore considering they could be easily caught. Im thinking an eco-action trip to the rainforest soon?
ReplyDeleteI think that this is such an effective and simple way to make a huge impact on an environment. If people are scared of being turned into the authorities, I think that it would lessen the illegal deforestation activity, thus helping not only the trees, but the whole habitat!
ReplyDeleteI think this is an amazing way to save the environment especially since almost all American's use cell phones and get news ones about every 2 years, that's a lot of phone that would go towards a good cause on our Earth.
ReplyDeleteThis is such an interesting concept. If used properly, this could save the environment and easily get more people involved and aware of this issue.
ReplyDeleteWow! I had no idea that this was an effective way to save the rain forest! It is nice to know that something this simple can save the environment!
ReplyDeleteThis article is very interesting and think this method could be very useful, while being effective. Our cell phones are major part of the world and so is the rain forest so this could help save the rain forest. The rain forest is key to our environment.
ReplyDeleteThe use of cell phones to do something productive is a great idea and can help stop the illegal logging. This would help the forests from being over-logged and in an easy way because the vast majority of the human population has the ability to use a phone.
ReplyDeleteI feel that is is an effective way to help stop logging. I find it interesting how far technology has come where we can stop this with our phones. A lot of us have phones, even at a very young age. Now we can use these to help stop logging.
