Just thinking: native forest was cleared to plant sugar cane; sugar cane plantation exists mainly to obtain ethanol, added (20 to 25%) to gas in Brazil, to get oil economy and obtain a more 'clean' fuel; ethanol is considered a 'ecologically correct' fuel, because the CO2 produced when it buns could be return, by photosinthesis, to sugar cane plant, and do not get worse the global heat. Conclusion: here in Brazil we destroy the native forest to save the planet, producing a clean and 'green' fuel, the ethanol!
Hmmm....I don't know....let's burn gas...or use a bike....
