I read some pretty startling facts about our environment today. Did you know that we are losing one and a half acres of rain forest every second and that the global temperature will rise between 1.4% and 5.8% in our lifetime? But, I also found out that Compassion is doing some really awesome things to help our environment. I never know all the great things that Compassion is doing to help make the environment a better place.
