This is important for all of us!!!
Brazilian congress is now voting on a project that
will reduce the amazon forest to 50% of its size. The
area to be deforested is 4 times the size of Portugal
and would be mainly used for agriculture and pastures
for livestock... All the wood is to be sold to
international markets in the form of wood chips, by
multinational companies...
The truth is that the soil in the amazon forest is
useless without the forest itself. Its quality is very
acidic and the region is prone to constant floods. At
this time more than 160.000 square kilometers
deforested with the same purpose, are abandoned and
in the process of becoming deserts. We cannot let this
happen. Copy the text into a new email, put your
complete name in the list below, and send to everyone
you know. (Don't just forward it cos then it will end
up with rows of  >>>'s ) If you are the 100th person
to sign please send a copy to [log in to unmask]
Thank you.
