Brazil's Amazon is at high risk of turning into a carbon emitter. Let us unite and spread awareness to the United Nations. By doing so, we can slow down the Amazon's turning point. Sign this petition to fight for those who need our support! #39CSustain https://t.co/RtuFqcftkd
"Paulo Artaxo, a physicist at the university of São Paulo, Brazil, discusses that using the Amazon fund is the best solution towards sustaining the forest, but President Bolsonaro continues to deny the money." #39CSustain

"Brazil’s Amazon experienced a 30.5% increase in fires and an 85% increase in its deforestation rate in the past year." Deforestation rates have increased and continue to grow under Jair Bolsonaro's presidential career. #39CSustain
Destruction of tropical forests worldwide increased in 2019. The year’s total loss of old-growth tropical forest was 9.3 million acres, an area nearly the size of Switzerland. https://t.co/1w4kz6roNn
One way we can save the Amazon from further destruction and protect the indigenous people's homes is signing this petition! Let's help the true heroes that protect our biodiversity and sustain the forest! #39CSustain https://t.co/Hk4PqN4apf
The Amazon Council has successfully used the military to suppress the #amazonfires, but continues to reject the help of environmental organizations. This exclusion raises suspicion within the scientific community. #39CSustain@39CSustain https://t.co/RvbDBilYmw
As a writer, I learned to find my own voice and incorporate them effectively into my writing. Strengthening my analysis skills, constantly asking questions, and using more powerful language allowed me to do so.

I agree! Peer reviews have always improved my writing skills because I would be able to understand how my audience apprehended my writing style. It definitely gave me a sense of what my audience is looking for. #39CSustain
This is such an insightful, powerful, and essential piece of information. Global temperatures arise from multiple climate change issues and result to one massive extinction. That is why each of these issues should be held with the highest regard. #39CSustain
Just a small increase in global temperatures results in a cascade of doom: rising sea levels, heat waves galore, extreme ocean acidification, and intensification of our current 6th mass extinction are just a few to mention.

Yes! What we do does impact not only the world, but thousands of ecosystems and even our own human systems. Writing 39C definitely changed my perspective on sustainability as well as how essential it is to care for the environment. #39CSustain
I have become more aware of the environment and learned that everything WE do impacts other species and many of the times they're impacted negatively. #WhatIlearnedin39c
I agree! Creating the portfolio gave us students the opportunity to look back and see how far we've come since the beginning of writing 39C. It has modified the way I define an academic writer; a scholar who constantly perfects, improves, and reevaluates their work.
#WhatIlearnedin39C#39CSustain
The portfolio and curation process has been an incredible view of my growth as a writer in my first ever writing class in college. It has shown my growth over time and feels very fulfilling.
Writing 39C has taught me that being up to date on current climate change issues is essential to our awareness as advocative students, who are soon to become the next healthcare and political leaders of the world. #WhatIlearnedin39C#39CSustain
After reading and writing about Amazonian deforestation I've accepted that climate change denial is real. One of the prime individuals who exhibits such denialist ideals is Brazil's president, Jair Bolsonaro. #WhatIlearnedin39C#39CSustain
Throughout writing 39C, I have improved my writing skills on how to properly address, examine, and analyze Brazil's deforestation issue in an academic and professional manner. #WhatIlearnedin39C#39CSustain
I now understand the importance of sustaining forests and national parks after my research on deforestation. It is not only for the protection of the endangered species, but for the protection of the planet from increasing climate change effects.#WhatIlearnedin39C#39CSustain
