| Early morning Rio |
Now we would travel from Rio +20 to the Amazon, so many juxtapositions: urban to jungle, international city and the remaking of identity to family land and familial legend shaping identity, book learning to experiential learning, talking to doing... (click title for more)
It was a long and metaphoric journey, as I suppose any Amazonian expedition might be, full of cliche-busting at its best. Driving in, so many connections to conversations and academic learning about the complicated truths of energy, land use, diet, and economic growth, not to mention renewables and the costs of Brazil's climate neutral energy sources of ethanol and
hydropower... As well as some of the most potentially lethal fish bones ever encountered.

| "Living dead" Brazil nut trees - illegal to cut but unable to survive without forest, cut down for cattle ranching, soy (to feed the cattle), and possibly in the future, sugar cane ethanol. |
