On Wednesday, we had to write a letter to the Brazilian government about 4-6 groups that we discussed and how they can preserve the rainforest using sustainable development, reforestation, ecotourism, and buying products that support the rainforest. On Thursday, we had to present our letters; many of us were terrified, but we all survived. If you haven't completed the Everfi, you'll want to do it now!
