Project idea for artist

This is an idea to represent the destruction of the Amazon that is happenign right now. It has been estimated that Every second 2.47 acres (1 hectare) or an area the size of 2 US football pitches is destroyed. Ideas that has been developed are as follows:

Chopping wood every second.

Cutting flowers or vegetation every second.

Sharpening pencils every second.

After discussion on Monday the idea that sounded the most ideal would be the sharpening of pencils so that each twist of the pencil would happen every second. This waste of pencils would represent the destruction of the rain forest.
