the Amazon forest

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 as
instructed below. First, some facts: the Amazon rainforest is
responsible for the generation of 20% of the oxygen that we on this
earth breathe, 30% of the world's freshwater is contained within the
Amazon basin, 60% of the cancer fighting drugs used today are derived
from plants that can only be found within the Amazon rainforest. 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 kilometers deforested with the same purpose
are abandoned and in the process of becoming deserts, meaning that
this proposal is in the short-term interests of a few, in the long
term interests of none.

Please copy (cut & paste) the entire text into a new e-mail', put
your complete name in the list below, and send to everyone you know.
(DON'T JUST FORWARD IT - AS IT WILL THEN END UP WITH ROWS AND ROWS of
'>'s - which discourages people from sending on). If you are the
400th person to sign please send a copy to: [email protected]
