Now Everything is Clear

It was not a surprise at all, remember in my previous post I told you that I had some suspicions that the Amazonian rainforest’s fire did not start by natural causes and it might be intentionally set on fire.

Surprisingly, this might be actually true. If you follow the news regarding our “Planet’s Lungs” as we called it, you may noticed that  Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro refused the world wide aid presented to help in the situation through the G7 members. And if you decided to dig more into the news you would find this story everywhere. In addition, the Brazilian media started a huge attack on the western nations claiming that they are only interested in taking the Amazon forest from Brazil claiming a colonialist mindset.

Have a look and see yourself: 

BBC   Amazon fires: Brazil to reject G7 offer of $22m aid

CNN Brazil rejected millions in Amazon aid. Hours later, Bolsonaro hinted at a reversal

NewYork Times The amazon fire

CNBC    Brazil leader wants an apology before accepting $22 million fund to fight Amazon fires



According to the Washington Post, Bolsonaro shared a meme mocking Macron's wife, to which Macron replied, "I have a lot of friendship and respect for the Brazilian people, I hope they will very soon have a president that acts like one." Bolsonaro told reporters that he would accept the G-7's money only if Macron apologized. Then things got personal.

Now, I am asking is this kind of joke, he is willing to destroy the most important rain forest in the world for some kid jokes that he started.  


Reading all of that makes me wonder why?!

So, I decided to read more about the Brazilian president Bolsonaro, and what I discovered was shocking. I found that during his presidential campaign, he promised many things regarding the Amazonian forest. For example, he promised to exploit the Amazon and build a road through it, also he claimed that he will start building a power plant inside the forest and support the transformation of the forest into modern industrial era. 

Scott Wallace on National Geographic (October 2018) asked an interesting question Brazil's new leader promised to exploit the Amazon—but can he? 

I think he started and he is doing it, according to Business Insider  “the Amazon rainforest has suffered from more than 10,000 new forest fires since August 15, a record pace that has sparked international concern and a state of emergency in Amazonas, Brazil's largest state. Experts fear that rapid destruction of the world's largest rainforest could bring consequences for the rest of the globe if left unchecked.”

Also  Kara Fox and Marina Lang on CNN said “ Brazil's Bolsonaro says he 'loves' the Amazon. But his policies are designed to wreak havoc on it.” 

I think his refusal of the G7 aid is not only personal, despite him trying to make it look like one, but it is mainly business. He actually wants to destroy the forest to use the land; the planet does not matter, the whole ecosystem does not matter.      

We need to do something to stop him and other idiots from destroying our planet, we cannot think of tomorrow if we are destroying our today.
Let us think and try to help the Amazonian rainforest our Planet’s Lungs.

The Amazon is Burning

      I regularly do not like to write about news, however, this time is related to our main goal, saving the planet and changing our lives. If you have not heard, the Amazon is currently burning, not that Amazon, but I am talking about the Amazonian forest. You might ask why this is so important; this happens every year, in the Amazon and California even in Russia.      The fires every year in California or Russia may be due to environmental reasons. However, I believe that some of these fires are not induced by environmental causes but by humans who have business interests in these areas. This could be true or false but still lies under the conspiracy theory category.    What is really important about the Amazonian Rainforest is that this forest is called “the planet’s Lungs”. This is because the forest alone produces almost 20% of the oxygen in the whole world. According to the Brazilian Research Center (INPE), the number of fires in Brazil is 80% higher than last year.

OK, how many of you obtained his driver license when he was 16? Maybe a lot. I got mine when I was 24 since then I have been driving almost every day, back and forth, from home to work, from work to home, from home to here and there. However, I am getting tired, tired of everything, driving, traffic, parking and waiting. I am used to driving but it seems like it is getting harder every day. People are getting crazy, parking is becoming impossible, driving day and night are becoming frustrating. How many of you drive in the morning traffic to work, then by 6 pm drive again back home in the worst traffic;  get home dreaming of resting only to discover that your daughter has a swimming class and your son has a soccer training separated by 15 to 30 min at the two different places. Now you have to drive your daughter to her swimming, drop her off, and continue driving to you son’s soccer training, drop him off too, to drive back instantaneously to pick up your daughter then come bac
