Hello everyone:
Today I`ll talk about a topic, which I find interesting and this is deforestation in the world, particulary in South America.
The Amazon rainforest is the world's largest tropical rainforest. Even, more than 60 percent it belongs to Brazil.
Deforestation in the Brazilian Amazon is typically driven by industrial agriculture and land speculation. More than 70 percent of deforested land ends up as cattle pasture. High commodity prices typically create incentives for deforestation.
Brazilian farmers have been demanding enviromentalist laws in the Amazon region. So, in this way they support a bill that would let them clear half the land on their properties in environmentally sensitive areas.
Some environmental experts warned that simple economics were driving to the deforestation rates, and that as the global economy recovers from financial crisis, the rates would rise of deforestation again.
Against deforestation...
A Brazilian priest, frustated by the plight of deforestation that plagues his city: Piresdo, he decided to impose a new style in the confessional. So which is? a environmental penance, this idea consist in to plant trees and change the current situation for Brazil.
What? Basically what the priest proclaims is that if you wants to earn forgiveness and get in good with the above, something must be done also for the planet. And the better way to do something for the planet is help to reforest the city in which they live.
However, probably the orthodox Catholic is disagree with this practice. But no doubt that initiatives like this give a imagen more human and close the church to the people in this century.
In addition, scheduled for Octuber has a reforestation of one of the most affected areas of the city, where probably the priest`s blessing. So the best thing is that everybody can help the planet.
