Bro, it’s like 4PM in São Paulo right now and all the smoke made it look like it’s already night…city of ashes indeed.
That’s POLLUTION for you guys. It’s what you get when people burn the Amazon rainforest to make farms.
Ok so, the cloud of smoke over the city is from the burning of Amazon rainforest in Rondonia. Sao Paulo is 3300km (2052 miles) distant from Porto Velho. Athens is closer to London than Sao Paulo is to Porto Velho. Just to give you an idea of the damage they are doing to the forest right now, with the permission from the human trash president. Just so you guys from other countries have an idea of what’s happening here in Brazil.
If you can reblog this to make people aware of the situation, I’ll be really glad.
Look they’ve been burning the forest it’s been 15 days now and people have died already in the fires. So the least I hope that the media will actually pay attention to Rondônia and the forest now that’s affect São Paulo. The media here in Brazil is trying to take the attention away from the fires saying that what covered SP today as fog because of a cold wave, but many people already said: it’s not fog, it’s smoke. And if you’re shocked about São Paulo sky, this is Rondônia where they are burning the forest:
So yeah, they are destroying the biggest ecosystem that is the Amazon right now. And the world must know.
Because if we depend on the media, the death of the Amazon won’t be televised.
