The Amazon pollute. get there Wherever we are, in urban or rural communities, river fishermen, farmers or young people being spoken about the rubbish. The sea flooded garbage in the mangrove systems of the Amazon delta, where it freezes and flooding to the fields and enters the woods. Even the waste from urban settlements reached in the river systems. The many river islands turn into garbage dumps. Also, the waste producers to Islander itself can not be disposed of. Where picturesque river islands attract weekend tourists from the cities, it is particularly bad.
Young people begin to fight back. On the Ilha (island) de Cotijuba, recreational area for the city of Belém million, they start to make the scale of the disaster to clear for their home. Study plays one, they show on the road, about this: The complaint crayfish, turtles and parrots to the police: dirty your everyday world. All suddenly discover: The viewers are the culprits. The new slogan of all, the audience included, is:
O lixo é nosso Irmao
Reciclar é a Solução
(The garbage we used
recycling is the solution)
During the performance, we have served as a public water. Plastic cups for everyone. This is the absolute exception, we assure the young people, otherwise there is always drinking glasses!
first successes are achieved. A garbage disposal has been established on the island. The separately collected waste is shipped to Belem. The first
Step is made - "waste" is a problem that must be removed.
When is the next step - "avoid waste" follows, which is still open.
If this beautiful piece of earth to wish for: hopefully soon!
