I did not realize it was that many. Makes me want to plant a few trees.

Hi academic... Thanks for the link. I don't know why people are not so aware about The global warming and indulging in deforestation. I have seen in my local place that due to poverty and rapid population.. people begin to clear all the forest. It's really think-worthy. Have a nice day.
