Amazon jungle

Subject:        	Amazonia

This is important for all of us!!!
Brazilian congress is now voting on a project that will reduce the
amazon forest to 50% of its size. 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 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. We cannot
let this
happen. Copy the text into a new email, put your complete name in
the list

then it
will end up with rows of  >>>'s ) If you are
