Brazil has banned burning for the purpose of clearing land for 60 days. A moratorium, then: Stop burning for just this little amount of time.
I suppose I read the news and am a little shocked. What? You mean they are clearing away the Amazon little by little, but will pause for a couple months since the world is outraged?
That's all?
But, I also must think of their position, how they feel it is their right to develop their property. They question why they cannot cut down their own forests, but other nations can.
And, they have a point.
I would guess a tree growing up proud and tall in America is as good as one growing straight and true in Brazil. If we are to meet them part way, we should plant a few more trees of our own. We, too, should ban the clearing of trees and forest land.
