  1. I am agree with this note. Moreover, sugar cane industrialization is hightly contaminant for enviroment.
    First, the goverments should have a plan for change the energy production based on fuel or biofuel.
    Second, meanwhile, productions like jatropa should be encouraged to replace soy or sugar cane.

  2. Finally people is starting to wake up! I’m a Brazilian guy and I live in a small city in the countryside of the state of São Paulo and everybody here knows that plantations like those of sugar cane, soy and all those things (livestock etc) means nothing but destroying native forests and killing other beings in order to make money, filthy money. And they pollute the environment – they still burn the sugar cane plantation, for example, before the harvest, in order to ‘clean’ the soil for preventing people working there – people who work for crumbs, many even as slaves – to get bitten by snakes or any other venomous animals, instead of investing in specific machinery (machinery which Brazil ironically has worldwide fame for, the country is the world leader in the area, here in the city, for example, there’s a famous factory of agricultural machinery), and that burning produces a disturbing ‘rain’ of sugar cane ashes all over the cities around the rural areas where they use to plant sugar cane and those things. Ask the housewives around here and you’ll know what they think about their cloths on the clothes line being ‘awarded’ by those ashes when it’s the harvest season (laughter). And if it were not enough, now they want to have the right to destroy native forests, already in risk of extinction, in order to multiply their plantations, as if the Brazilian territory had no other place to be used for plantation. It’s more than nonsense, it would be a comedy if it were not a tragedy. But I know that people who think like me will never have a chance to be there and put the things in the place where they belong. Maybe this is starting to change now, with people like you paying attention to such a details that would never be know worldwide before. Now they’ll have to give enough a chance. Thank you!
