The sugar cane holocaust.
ACADEMIC LIES AGAINST THE CRUEL REALITY.
The layers: People, who are well paid, not informed about the
real conditions where ethanol is
produced.
The article is about a critical analysis to an academic road
show which misleads local people by
hiding from them the real effects in the environment and land
workers by using the sugar cane
as raw material to produce ethanol.
The role of people is passive: people are not interested in
speaking out. They are no conscious
that their neutral behavior is causing a silence approval to the
Brazilian model. Not taking part
in finding solutions and strategies to solve and refuse these
practices turn them into one of the
principal guilty as well the ethanol companies are. THERE IS A
LACK OF ENVIRONMENTAL
AWARENESS
People dont deal with the problem directly if this one doesnt
affect them personally.
Unfortunately they havent realized that it does. Sooner or later
the effects of this model will
consume natural resources and increasing the air pollution
levels in the country.
Role of cars: ?
The reality about the Brazilian model: It produces ethanol from
sugar cane. It is environmental
devastating. Causes problem between the society; social classes,
political matters, etc.
Environmental effects: NATURE DYING; water pollution (stillage
not removed from rivers)and
air pollution (cars using clean fuels). The residue grain from
the manufacture of ethanol
causes problems to the flora and fauna who are devastated. The
woods are infected and
poisoned by the chemical substances used by the companies.
WORKERS REALITY: HEALTH, WORK CONDITIONS, ASPIRATIONS IN LIFE.
People are evicted
from their lands and are force to work under humiliating
conditions, being exploited as slaves.
Children are forced to leave their small-holdings and homesteads
to live in the city where they
found not only great danger but also difficulties to fulfill
basic needs. The people who work in
the sugar cane fields are under control of a production model
that controls the legislative,
judiciary and executive powers of the country, is a vicious
circle. People have busy schedules,
almost 12 hours of non-stop work. For that reason we can find
people who is no longer fit to
work, they are too tired and they do not more options rather
than stay at home. There were
people who wanted something better for their relatives and they
looked for better
opportunities that they obviously didnt find. People who came
with high expectations aboutthe sugar cane fields were completely
disappointed , assuming that there was nothing better
to do rather that stay there and try to cope all the
humiliations and bad profits.
The role of CPT: They support bio-energy to fulfill basic needs,
to cook, to keep people warm,
to bright peoples relationship in a sense of being closer. They
try to avoid the bad working
conditions in which people are involved.
LAND REFORM: is not possible because ?
