Waking up

Triplets

Hiding from the wind

Getting ready for the night

Rush hour

Lazy afternoon

Reaching out for Sun

Just pretty

No tenemos ya más armas que ser muchos y gritar al mismo tiempo. Si ellos crearon estos medios para enriquecerse y aumentar su poder, nosotros se lo vamos a decir por este canal. Sé que funciona porque ya he visto dos casos en que miles de firmas inundaron los despachos de los políticos y tuvieron que parar una ley que estaba vigente. El Congreso de Brasil esta a punto de votar un proyecto de ley que reducirá la superficie de la selva amazónica a un 50% de su tamaño actual. Te llevará nada más que UN MINUTO leer lo que sigue, pero por favor tómate el tiempo que quieras y luego añade tu nombre a la lista antes de pasarla a tu lista de correos. El área que va a ser deforestada tiene más o menos 4 veces la superficie de Portugal y se proponen destinarla principalmente a la agricultura y al pastoreo de ganado.Toda la madera que se saque será vendida en el mercado internacional como "chips" (astillas) por grandes compañías multinacionales. Lo cierto es que el suelo sobre el que crece la selva amazónica es inútilsin su cobertura selvática. Tiene una acidez muy alta y la región es muy susceptible a las inundaciones. En la actualidad más de 160.000 km2 de tierras deforestadas para la agricultura y ganadería yacen abandonadas y en proceso de convertirse en desiertos. La reducción de la masa boscosa (para convertirla en astillas) también dará un significativo incremento de la cantidad de dióxido de carbono a la atmósfera, lo cual agravará la alteración climática que ya sufre el planeta. Sencillamente, no podemos permitir que esto ocurra.

Si estas EN CONTRA de este Proyecto por favor copia este texto en un nuevo correo, agrega tu nombre completo a la lista que se da más abajo, y envíalo a toda la gente que conozcas. No recurras a la función REENVíO porque esto agrega cada vez, y molesta a la lectura. Copia y pega el texto.


Si eres la persona nº: 1000 de la lista, envía una copia a:
fsaviolo@openlink.com.br

Muchas gracias por tu ayuda.

We do not have more arms already than to be many and to shout at the same time. If they created these average ones to become rich and to increase their power, we go it to say itself by this channel. I know that it works because already I have seen two cases in that thousands of companies flooded the offices of the politicians and had to stop a law that was effective. The Congress of Brazil this on the verge of voting a law project that will reduce the surface of the amazonian forest to a 50% of its present size. It will take to you nothing else that a MINUTE to read what follows, but please tomato the time that you want and soon adds your name to the list before passing it to your list of post office. The area that is going to be deforested more or less has 4 times the surface of Portugal and they set out to mainly destine it to the agriculture and the pasturing of cattle. All the wood that removes will be sold in the international market as “Chips” (chips) by great multinational companies. The certain thing is that the ground on which grows the amazonian forest is inútilsin its selvática cover. It has a very high acidity and the region is very susceptible to the floods. At the present time than 160,000 km2 of earth deforested more for agriculture and cattle ranch lie left and in process to become deserts. The reduction of the wooded mass (to turn it chips) also will give a significant increase of the amount of dioxide of carbon to the atmosphere, which will aggravate the climatic alteration that already undergoes the planet. Simply, we cannot allow that this happens.

If these Against this Project please copy east text in a new mail, add your complete name to the list that occurs more down, and sends it to all people which you know. You do not resort to the REENVíO function because this adds every time, and bothers to the reading. Copy and sticks the text.


If you are the person nº: 1000 of the list, send a copy a:

Thank you very much for your help.

A transgenic fluorescent green pig bred by the National Taiwan University is seen in Taipei January 12, 2006. Taiwan, home to the world's first transgenic glowing fish, has successfully bred fluorescent green pigs that researchers hope will boost the island's stem cell research, a professor said on Thursday.

Why in the world would you want your pig to fluoresce?
