El Congreso brasileño está ahora votando un proyecto que reducirá la selva del Amazonas en un 50% de su tamaño. Tomará 1 MINUTO leer esto, pero POR FAVOR ponga sus nombre en la lista y reenvíe el mensaje.

El área a ser desforestada es 4 veces el tamaño de Portugal y sería principalmente usada para agricultura y pasturas para ganado. Toda la madera será vendida a mercados internacionales como rolos, mediante grandes compañías internacionales. La verdad es que el suelo en la selva amazónica es inútil sin la selva misma. Su calidad es muy ácida y la región propensa a constantes inundaciones. En este momento más de 160.000 quilómetros cuadrados desforestados con el mismo propósito están abandonados y en proceso de convertirse en desiertos. La deforestación (y el subsecuente procesamiento de rolos) a esta escala, además liberará grandes cantidades de carbón (que actualmente está bloqueado en la madera) de regreso a la atmósfera, empeorando el problema del cambio climático. No podemos dejar que esto pase.

Por favor copie este texto en un nuevo e-mail, pongan su nombre completo en la lista debajo y envíelo a cada uno de sus conocidos. (NO LO REENVÍE SIMPLEMENTE PORQUE APARECERÁ CON LÍNEAS Y LÍNEAS DE ESTE SIGNO >>>>. )

Si usted es la 300a. persona que firma, por favor envíe una copia a fsaviolo@openlink.com.br

=====================================================================

The Brazilian congress is now voting on a projectthat will reduce the Amazon forest to 50% of its size. It will take 1 MINUTE to read this, but PLEASE put your names on the list and forward this on.

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 large 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 kilometres deforested with the same purpose are abandoned and in the process of becoming deserts. Deforestation (and the subsequent processing of the woodchips) on this scale will also release huge amounts of carbon (which is currently locked up in the wood) back into the atmosphere worsening the problem of climate change. We cannot let this happen.

Please 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 THOUGH AS ITWILL THEN END UP WITH ROWS AND ROWS OF >>>>'s. )
