Chinese crack down on forest crime

| More
In the U.S. forests are reguarly destroyed for the economic benefit of a few. Oil companies, timber companies and other fat cats. Fat cats - what a great phrase. Anyway, the Chinese recently fined more than 80 people, even members of government, for forest destruction. Gob bless those communists.

    Sou português, e para falar verdade, quero escrever em português. Que tal acham a enorme quantidade de incêndios que têm proliferado em Portugal nos últimos três anos? Que 20% são de origem criminosa e que a maioria dos suspeitos não são condenados por dificuldades de prova? Que a maioria das nossas florestas estão tão sujas? Que não há quem as limpe? Vá lá, digam alguma coisa! A floresta portuguesa está regada com um rastilho de pólvora prestes a explodir. Há dois anos o total de área ardida correspondeu à área equivalente do Algarve inteiro, que é a nossa principal zona turística balnear.
