[pp.int.general] Food & Energie

The international general mail list the last days is discussing meet and
food consume.
Those themes cross countries political borders. The last facts regarding
suger cane ethanol plants and the Belo Monte Damm in Brazil that couses
massive actions against human rights. As European companies profit from
those projects and the Brazilian government approves I suggest to work out
a petition for german and brasilian liquid feedback. What that means that
pirates from two countries address the same issue from different angle I do
not know but see that PPI should take an active function regarding it. Food
and energy are transnational themes and so should it be discussed.
Warm regards from the Pirate Cave,
Fabricio

Sorry for the brevity - sent from my mobile. Meta regards!
