This is important for all of us!!!
Please take the time to respond.......

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 kilometres 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 below, and send to everyone you
know.
(Don't just forward it because then it will end up with rows of  >>>'s )
