Deforestation and plastic
Did you know that deforestation is caused for many reasons, one of them being farming. One of the things that people farm on the land is avocados - although there are many other causes, such as the meat industry, palm oil, sugar and coffee plantations. Using forest land is good for the farmers, and for avocado farmers for example, because they are becoming more popular to buy the farmers are upping prices, so the producers are making a larger profit.
So try reduce the amount of avocados you are buying as you may be destroying the rainforest. Or make sure you check if products are fair trade or rainforest alliance friendly.
Did you know that around 36 football fields of trees in the rainforests of our world are lost every minute, think how many trees that is!

So when you go to KFC or anywhere else, refuse plastic straws, and use paper ones instead, or just don't use one at all.
Try be as enviromentaly friendly as possible. Don't throw away rubbish, recycle it or make eco bricks out of it, just dont let it destroy our planet.
