I think it's great that the person starting this thread wants to be a vegetarian, but they are obviously very young and haven't thought things through entirely. By all means, go veg. I've done it for a couple of years, and made the decision to stop. But realise that there are many reasons the rainforests are being cut down. Reasons like development, corporate pressure, poverty, timber demand, grazing land, etc. I know you're probably quite young, and that this is a bit of an ask, but try to get a more whollistic approach to something instead of getting so militant about it you don't even research the details. Also, a vegetarian wearing leather shoes is one of the most ridiculous sights ever.
