Crooked News: We’re “Bossy” ‘Cause We’re Angry

In this edition of Crooked News, Carrie and Kae discuss the Amazon Rainforest Fire, Andrew Yang, Florida Man, possible affairs, and obscure marriage laws!

How to help with the Amazon fires:

• Donate to the Rainforest Trust to help buy land in the rainforest.

• Donate to Rainforest Action Network to protect an acre of the Amazonian rainforest.

• Reduce your paper and wood consumption. Double-check with Rainforest Alliance that what you’re buying is rainforest-safe. You can also purchase rainforest safe products from the alliance’s site.

• Ecosia.org is a search engine that plants a tree for every 45 searches you run.

• The World Wide Fund for Nature works to protect the countless species in the Amazon and around the world.

• Donate to Amazon Watch, an organization that protects the rainforest defends indigenous rights and works to address climate change.

• Donate to the Amazon Conservation Team, which works to fight climate change, protect the Amazon and empower indigenous peoples.

• Explore Change.org petitions. A lawyer in Rio Branco has accumulated over 77,000 of his 150,000 signature goal to mobilize an investigation into the Amazonian fires.

• Amazon Conservation accepts donations (which can be tax-deductible) and lists exactly what your money goes toward. You can help plant trees, sponsor education, protect habitats, buy a solar panel, preserve indigenous lands and more.
