fires underway all over this vast country
Here is an audio report I’ve put together looking at the fires that are happening all over Brazil at the moment.
I explore:
- the spread of the fires
- the climatic conditons
- how environmental goods and services are the new oil and minerals
- the use of twitter to mobilize and engage the country (and it’s presidential hopefuls) in debate w/ the #chegadequeimadas hashtag
- the need to shift of the discussion away from 20th century enviro-fundamentalist vs industrialist/agriculturalist to one that is more considered, inclusive and reponsive to 21st century challenges.
Do tweet this and include the hashtag #chegadequeimadas (stop the fires) to keep the campaign alive (60 ooo tweets of this tag and counting!)
