Where Did The Name Woodard Originate From?

Answer Question

1 Answer - Sort by: Date | Rating

    Its not so much Brazil wanting to cut down the rainforest.  The world as a whole demands the wood for manufacturing into furniture/house timber/toys etc.  Its a sad world we live in and we are all to blame, have a think how many items made from wood in your household. If your like me then I am ashamed to admit it but I do not know the provenance of most items.  Which means there is a high liklehood that some originated from the rainforests of Brazil and other countries.  These places a sacred, the amount of wildlife and plants that are still undiscovered in these forests is estimated to be as high as 75 percent of the total population of the worlds wildlife and plants.  Yet if these forests continue to be exploited in as little as 20 years this 75 percent of species and plants as yet unknown to man will be extinct, scary stuff.  Globalisation and capitalism go hand in hand in demanding cheap or affordable products rainforests and ultimately humankind are the casualties of this system of greed and self fullfilment at any cost.
