this is an enriching, comprehensive site . all i suggest , knowing how people can sometimes be , is a daily or hourly moment where everyone has to confess silently any thought about breaking any promise or law about environment , animals etc . this is the only way to manage & monitor situations , & could calm & change the overall usual tone in politics or tourism , teaching such parties different mentality – which would have to be done all the time, because of so much aggression & materialistic values

Brazil would have a lot of convincing to do to get me to give them any money for conservation after I became aware of the facts behind the murder of Sister Dorothy Stang (do a google search if you are interested). A blank check to a government that is so unable to promote justice in the Amazon rainforest by protecting those that wish to save it is not my idea of a safe environmental investment. Having said that, we all need to work very hard towards a solution to the looming environmental crisis that will destroy the earth as habitat for humanity. It’s going to take ALL of us.

I don’t know what the solution to global warming is, but something has to be done in a hurry. One way to alleviate the problem is to increase the facilities for public transportation; thus, encouraging people to rely less on their cars and cutting down on both pollution and congestion.

It is a good idea on Brazil’s part to accept only no-strings attached money. Too often donors and foreign aids cripple a country for generations with their world view of how the country should progress. Let the Brazilians decide. If you don’t trust them, just wait and see how they do with the funds they already have.
