Ellen’s response to the ‘Abercrombi& Fitch’ statement.

Mikel Uribetxeberria’s series Animalia seems to ask the question: what would happen if humans disappeared and gorillas took over the city?
for some reason the pictures make me feel a little sad. it reminds me of the part where king kong was stuck in the city.
After many years of getting asked what my religion was, I finally realized that I’m a universalist.
But I still prefer to say that I believe in a force. The force of love :D
What the fuck. Dickhead loggers and ranchers are close to wiping some Amazonian tribe off the face of the earth…
It’s not bad enough that once they were discovered all our diseases and stuff have been decimating them since they have absolutely no immunity to it but now we’re after all of their land.
Apparently the land is theirs according to the Brazilian constitution. Not up to speed with the Brazilian constitution but if it’s anything like the UK one it just proves that unconstitutional doesn’t equate to illegal.
In other words. Shit’s fucked up.
The Awá
The work of the loggers and ranchers has reached crisis point: some 30% of one legally-protected Awá reserve has been cut down. The Awá’s forests are disappearing faster than any other indigenous area in Brazil.
Belo Monte would be a project bigger than the Panama Canal, flooding at least 400,000 acres of rainforest, displacing 40,000 indigenous and local people, and destroying the priceless habitats of countless unique species — all to create power that could easily be generated through investments in energy efficiency.
Pressure on President Dilma against the dam is rising, the President of Brazil’s Environmental Agency just resigned, refusing to issue Belo Monte a construction license and challenging strong political pressure to go forward with this disastrous project. Environmental specialists, indigenous leaders and civil society agree that Belo Monte will be a massive environmental scar in the heart of the Amazon.
Construction could start next month - let’s raise the pressure on President Dilma to stop this dam! Sign the petition now, before the bulldozers move in -it will be delivered to Brasilia!
