I've always heard that the all Amazon issue doesn't come from Brazil selling off but from wealthy nations(no need to name them)which Brazil is indebted to freely disposing of those natural resources.It's called colonialism,and it's made of money nowdays as it was made of weapons and missions centuries ago. To spread the word is admirable,especially when people tents to shut up saying Ooooh,well ,we all know,it's everywhere... There is a site : www.care2.com running a Race for the Rain Forest.You click a button and some sponsors pay off some money to buy some bits of the Amazon Rainforest to preserve it from being...well,fucked. What are people living in America going to breathe?!It all drives me desperately angry. But,well,the planet is going to survive.Give it two hundred years without us,and it will all be like before. But we're not. And we really deserve it.As humans,we're stupid.As animals,we're hopless.
