If you have time... please copy and sign   The Brazilian congress is now voting on a project that 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. It's 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 just 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 IT WILL THEN END UP WITH ROWS AND ROWS of >'s.
