Re: destroying forest in Brazil

Please--no more internet petitions!!!  Although there is no evidence that the 
Taliban, the Brazilian legislature, the US government etc will be intimidated 
by a list of entirely unconfirmed names forwarded to them over e-mail, these 
petitions are often out of date or fraudulent.  This particular petition 
refers to a vote by the Brazilian congress in May of 2000 (the pro-rain 
forest people won).  The mailbox you are supposed to forward it to no longer 
accepts mail.  Read about it at WWW.snopes2.com, under 'inboxer rebellion', 
petitions.

 VERY URGENT
 The Brazilian congress is now voting on a project that  will reduce the
 Amazon forest to 50% of its size. It will take 1 MINUTE to read this,but
 PLEASE put your names on the list and forward this on. 
 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  large
 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. Deforestation (and the subsequent 
  processing of the woodchips) on this scale will also release huge
 amounts
 of carbon (which is currently locked up in the wood) back into the 
 atmosphere worsening the problem of climate change. We just cannot let
 this
  happen.
 Please 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 
 THOUGH AS
 IT
 WILL THEN END UP WITH ROWS AND ROWS OF >>>>'s. )
  If you are the 300th person to sign please send a copy  to:
