33. I Love Amazon Week But there is also lots that we can do to help protect the Amazon.

34. I Love Amazon Week Make sure that any furniture or paper used at home is FSC certified. This means that it has been taken from sustainable, well managed sources.

35. I Love Amazon Week Recycle, reuse and reduce. Nearly all the gadgets we use contain copper, gold and other minerals which are mined from tropical rainforests. Mining can cause pollution and health problems for people living in the rainforest.

36. I Love Amazon Week Recycle, reuse and reduce. Protect the rainforest by upgrading your gadgets less often, buying used products when you can and recycling any gadgets when they are broken.

37. I Love Amazon Week Climate change is a huge threat to rainforests and could reach the stage where forests start to dry up and die. Cut your carbon footprint by saving energy and thinking about how you travel.

38. I Love Amazon Week Think about the food that we buy. Talk to your parents about buying food that carries Fairtrade or Rainforest Alliance symbols which guarantees good working conditions and environmental standards.

39. I Love Amazon Week And finally, remind yourself of why we love nature by getting out into your local park or woodland and enjoying the natural beauty on your doorstep!
