Rio Negro: registers the lowest level in 40 years. Rio Negro is a tributary of the Amazonas river, and the second river in the world in water outflow volume, the first in the world in water flowing out is the Amazonas river.

You can also see the amount of garbage that population throw away in the river:

The Lost Brazil:
City of Parintins, Amazonas, november, 11/2010.
In this photo, part of a "Castanheira" tree. At least, 50(fifty) of these "centenary" trees were cutted to construct residential quarters in the district of Parintins. The question is who gave the ambiental licenses to do that. Where is the government that consents and allows that?  
A new and creative architecture is necessary to occupy the spaces inside the rainforest area. A new way of life and mentality, a new approach on urbanization is needed, but people are not evoluted and ready for that, so they are destroying the rainforest. Ignorance is destroiyng the rainforest.

PAUL MCCARTNEY: A BEATLE IN PORTO ALEGRE.

The way to the show:
Público animado durante o show de Paul McCartney em Porto Alegre
Eternal beatle Paul McCartney did a great show here in Porto Alegre on sunday, 7, november, in the stadium of the Sport Club Internacional(Colorado), soccer/foot-ball team. We couldn't ask for more, (we could only imagine the other Beatles playing along with him). Porto Alegre was the first show of the 2010 latin american tour. We had some moment of poetry when he was singing :"Venus and Mars are alright tonight", and watching the sky pointing the stars on a hot stary night. He dedicated 1 song to John Lennon, 1 song to George Harrison and one song to Linda.  He warmed the  crowd saying "Eu sou gaúcho". 
We would like to hear every Beatle songs played by him & his band, cause, if John Lennon were alive, I don't know if he would be with his last wife, but I'm sure he would be singing and playing like he always did,  and in a good mental and physical shape, so we keep on imagining how good it would be this show with John sharing the stage, along with the strong guitar and harmony vocals of George, and the right swing of Ringo Star. From here Paul went to Buenos Aires and did 2 more shows, and then returned to São Paulo, Brazil, on saturday,20/11, to do 2 more shows. We would like to hear more songs from The Beatles in the show. We're already waiting for the next time here in POA.

KOPPENHAGEN/2010: WEAK GESTURES FOR THE PLANET ENVIRONMENT .THERE ARE OTHER PRESIDENTS OF SOME COUNTRIES AND "RELIGIOUS" LEADERS THAT ARE SO DESPICABLE THAT THEY DON'T EVEN DESERVE TO BE MENTIONED OR PRINTED, SO THEY WON'T DIRTY OUR MENTAL IMAGINARY.

EVERYDAY AN AMBIENTAL CRIME IS COMMITED, AND YOU BETTER BELIEVE THAT SAVAGERY IN THESE DAYS IS NOT AMONG THE INDIANS, BUT IT IS IN OUR SOCIETY.
SOMETHING SHOULD BE DONE RIGHT NOW! THE ACTUAL LEADING STATESMEN OF THE WORLD DON'T DO NOTHING, THEY'VE LOST THE FOCUS, THEY'RE TOO BUSY SPENDING MORE MONEY AND ENERGY THAN NEEDED TO COMBAT TERRORISM.
OF COURSE WE MUST ALWAYS KEEP AN EYE ON THEM, THAT WILL ALWAYS HAVE TO BE DONE, BUT THEY'RE OVEREVALUATING THE WRONG THINGS, GIVING SOME PEOPLE THE IMPORTANCE THEY DON'T HAVE, THEY'RE SO DESPICABLE THAT THEY DON'T EVEN NEED TO BE MENTIONED, BUT WE ALWAYS HAVE TO WATCH OVER THEM. 
YOU ARE WINING IF YOU COMBAT THOSE THINGS WITHOUT SPENDING SO MUCH TIME, MONEY AND ENERGY.
IN KOPPENHAGEN/2010, WHILE THE RAINFOREST IS BEING DESTROYED,THEY SPENT TIME GREETING AND PRAISING EACH OTHER, AND THEY DID NOTHING TO STOP THE ENVIRONMENTAL DESTRUCTION OF OUR PLANET.
"NOBODY SAID A WORD TO LULA ABOUT THE DEFORESTATION AND THE DESTRUCTION OF THE RAINFOREST", AND WE HAD TO STAND IT AND SEE LULA POSING AS THE "GOOD BOY" AND PROTECTOR OF NATURE WHILE HE'S NOT DOING HIS HOMEWORK WELL.
