Can you visualize deforestation?

By Steve | Published: December 16, 2009

90 acres of trees are cut down each minute. A striking statement, but what does it mean to me?

This video by Maya Lin (creator of the Vietnam Veterans Memorial) helped me grasp the enormity of the statistic. The haunting melody by Brian Eno also transfixed me. Others who have blogged/tweeted about this also mention the tune. About the 20th time today that I’ve been reminded that the key to a good video is good sound.
