Logging companies are cutting down some of the most endangered forests on the planet to make wood and paper products such as office paper, phone books, toilet paper, window trim, lawn furniture, and 2 x 4's. Over seventy-eight percent of the Earth's original old-growth forests have already been logged or degraded.

The burning of oil, gas, and coal is the primary cause of climate change, a trend that is threatening the stability of the global climate.

Rainforest beef is typically found in fast food hamburgers or processed beef products. In both 1993 and 1994, the U. S. imported over 200 million pounds of fresh and frozen beef from Central American countries. Two-thirds of these countries' rainforests have been cleared, in part to raise cattle whose meat is exported to profit the U. S. food industry.

Team Trees, also known as TeamTrees or #teamtrees, is a 2019 collaborative fundraiser that managed to raise 20 million U.S. dollars before 2020 to plant 20 million trees. All donations go to the Arbor Day Foundation, a tree-planting organization that pledges to plant one tree for every U.S. dollar donated. They have now planted over 21.5 million trees. It was started by popular You tuber Mr Beast (Jimmy Donaldson) as a challenge to celebrate him getting 20 Million Subscribers on YouTube.
