The logging of timber is a method of rainforest destruction that is widely known.
One of the few companies to have success in logging is local, by the name Georgia Pacific.
Most timber is cut down from tropical wood, and is then transported into the US. It
arrives in the form of plywood and paneling, which can be seen on both the exterior and interior of modern housing. This plywood comes almost exclusively from the Southeast Asian rainforests.
Many
juice and shampoo companies use the precious tropical fruits to create wonderful tastes and scents for their various “tropical”
products.
Other
products include:
Brazilian
nuts, cayenne pepper, cassava/manioc, cashews, chocolate/cocoa, cinnamon, cloves, coconut, coffee, cola, corn/maize, eggplant,
fig, ginger, guava, herbal tea ingredients (hibiscus flowers, orange flowers and peel, lemon grass), jalapeņo, lemon, orange,
papaya, paprika, peanut, pineapple, rice, winter squash, sweet pepper, sugar, tomato, turmeric, vanilla, and Mexican yam
