Help prevent planetary "I can't breathe" -- Power a game-changer to save the Amazon

https://secure.avaaz.org/en/save_the_amazon_mix_nd1/?dty 

This is the best idea ever.

You know the Amazon - provides 20% of the planet's oxygen, 10% of our biodiversity, our best defense against climate change and home to unique indigenous peoples?

They're cutting it down, at the rate of over 16 football fields *in the time it takes to read this*. No joke.

How do we stop it? Here's the idea -- the world's first, international, fully protected, incredibly massive, reserve park!! A million of us have already backed this idea -- and the Colombian government supports it! Now we just need to win Brazil. President Dilma's popularity is in the toilet right now, and she needs a crowd pleaser - Brazilians love the Amazon, so insiders say she could go for it!

This park will be twice the size of *France*. It sounds like a dream, but we are within striking distance of winning -- one of the best things we ever did. But as soon as it gets close to a win, the ranching and mining lobbies will come hard at it with fistfuls of corrupt money. We need a full bells and whistles publicity campaign to get President Dilma behind this and quickly! If 50,000 of us donate the cost of a drink or meal in the next 24 hours we can do it.

Chip in to help make the Amazon into the world's largest park! 

"Let's live on the planet as if we intend to stay."
