DESCRIPTION:Amazon Emergency Die-in at Brazilian Embassies - January 1 
 2019\nJAN\n1\nAmazon Emergency Die-in at Brazilian Embassies - January 1 
 2019\nPublic · Event · by Climate Save Movement and 7 others\nTuesday, 
 January 1, 2019 at 12 AM – 12 PM UTC\n\n\nWORLDWIDE\n\nBrazil's president 
 Jair Bolsonaro's inauguration is on January 1, 2019. We call on activists 
 to organize a die-ins and sign up people for Veganuary (going vegan for the 
 month of January) outside a Brazilian Embassy or consulate.\n\nProtest his 
 plans to industrialize the Amazon and open it to more agribusiness and 
 mining. The environmental and indigenous rights group Amazon Watch has 
 described Bolsonaro’s plan as reckless, saying it will "bring untold 
 destruction to the planet’s largest rainforest and the communities who 
 call it home, and spell disaster for the global climate."\n\n--> Call to 
 action: Save the rainforests, Help Brazilian activists, Go 
 vegan!\n\nDemonstrate at the Brazilian embassy in your country, hand a 
 letter and try to speak their officials about the issue. Here is a list of 
 embassies and consulates worldwide:

 leaflets here: https://1drv.ms/b/s!AolTe95Z1wd9v2ujLU91iA5yFH9u 
 \n\nOrganize a cyber event on a platform popular in your country. Use the 
 hashtags: #AmazonEmergency #ClimateAlarm #AmazonRainforest 
 #ClimateSaveMovement \n\nAsk your government what they are doing to protect 
 the Amazon Rainforest. (see sample letter/speaking points below) \n\nDemand 
 that companies in your country doing business with Brazil to use economic 
 and political pressure (take a position, put diplomatic pressure, and 
 implement sanctions and boycotts of products). \n\nDemand that Brazil ban 
 the construction of roads and highways, animal agriculture and mining in 
 the Amazon. (see sample letter/speaking points below)\n\nAsk the World Bank 
 to stop supporting the destruction of the Amazon (see sample 
 letter/speaking points below)\n\nSpeaking points\n\nBolsonaro’s platform 
 indicates that he wants to eliminate Brazil’s Ministry of Environment and 
 privatise and sell off the Brazilian rainforest, which is pivotal in 
 cooling the earth and is the most diverse and tropical rainforest on the 
 planet. Bolsonaro plans to build a highway through the rainforest, pushing 
 the rainforest toward a critical tipping point, largely arising from 
 excessive fragmentation arising from agriculture, including animal feed 
 crop. Such fragmentation can lead to general drying and an increased 
 propensity for fires and other causes of loss. Bolsonaro remains intent on 
 opening up the Amazon to the farmers, miners and construction companies 
 that supported his campaign. If these plans go forward, human and non-human 
 inhabitants face severe and dire consequences to their very 
 existence.\n\nWe ask President Bolsonaro to:\nabandon his plans to 
 privatise the Amazon and legislate and implement and enforce a ban on 
 highways, land clearing, animal agriculture and mining in the Amazon\nallow 
 swathes of previously cleared land to regenerate in the Amazon to replenish 
 the land to its natural state and reverse the damage done by animal 
 agriculture\noffer protection and support to the indigenous peoples that 
 reside there and support and protect animal rights, environmental and 
 indigenous peoples’ democratic right to protest. \nWe also ask that you 
 help stop these atrocities now by voting with your purchases and offering 
 support for plant based, vegan 
 diets.\nGoing\n118\nInterested\n270\nShares\n84\nRecent Posts\nRichard
