Paul Patterson deeply feels, “There is much to love about rain forests beyond the flora and fauna.  Many of the world’s cures for disease have come from the rain forests, and some of us at Crest believe in our hearts that the cure for AIDS may be there.  Billions of dollars have been spent looking for that cure, but what would happen to that cure if we continue to cut down or burn our forests?  In hopes that such a cure in nearing, we at Crest have committed a portion of our profits to benefit the conservation of our forests and AIDS research.”
