Save some rainforest...wanna help?

Here it is. If you want to help, just add your Name, city, state, and country in a new post and when the post stop, I’ll send it on. We need 400!

Dear all,
The Brazilian congress is now voting on a project that will reduce the Amazon forest to 50% of its present size.
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 than160,000 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, and in the long-term interests of none.

Thank you for your help:

“The proposed law was shelved by Brazil’s Congress on 18 May 2000, so the specifics of this petition are now outdated (and the e-mail address given is no longer valid)”.

In fact this petition is considered an urban legend…so relax my friends…more information about it:
Rain Forest Petition

Thank you very much for that then.
Thought I was helping but you helped even more.
Thanks again and sorry everyone for my dumbass mistake…

Maybe this Urban Legend can be considered as a very cynical disinformation enterprise :rolleyes:

No harm done! :o)It’s easy to get blase about the environment when you haven’t got Bob Geldof or similar banging on about it! If this has reminded people of the fragility of our planet it’s a good thing! So much damage has already been done all over the world but especially in South America and man invariably reaps the consequences in floods, lost natural resources and near sterile farmland. Nevermind the loss of beauty and wonder!

Thanks anyway MTB :+1:

MTB,

Your desire to help and willingness to do so says more about you than you know.

A dumb ass mistake? No! You were doing what you believed in so…no mistake. :smiley: A day or two late maybe…but no mistake…your heart was in the right place perhaps at the wrong time but in the right place none the less.

Don’t let this deter you from future endeavors!!

thats really great MTB,i can say that my mother already bought a part of the rainforest and my company where im working bought really much(it has nearly the size of my hometown).
