One thing that really concerns me is the clear cutting of
forests in places such as
It is my hope that no more tropical
ecosystems are destroyed to make McDonald’s burgers.
Cattle production has a tremendously negative effect on
the world’s clean water, soil conservation, efficient land
management, and the preservation of natural forests.
This is very important to me. Thank you in advance for
doing everything you can to support the environment.
