What can we do about the Amazon?

Soy, Brazil, the EU & the Amazon The European Union is taking a tough line with Brazil about the deforestation of the Amazon. European Parliament deputy Pascal Canfin, who is president of the European Parliament's Committee on Environment, Public Health and Food Safety says, "Brazil can't figure on the international scene as the country that doesn't want to cooperate. It would be a terrible economic decision".

Congratulations Joe Biden & Kamala Harris

Many congratulations to PRESIDENT Joe Biden and VICE PRESIDENT Kamala Harris. It was a great pleasure to see you both signed in and taking over your offices peacefully today. I found it quite emotional watching the Inauguration Ceremony and I am not quite sure whether it was seeing the back of T***p: or perhaps that there was a peaceful transfer of power despite the threats we had all heard over the last couple of weeks: or, more likely, it was that tinkling sound of several glass ceilings being broken irreversibly by Kamala`s taking office as Vice President.
