Din orice parte ai veni, drumul printre munți, vara, îți încarcă sufletul cu lumină și frumusețe, întocmai ca peisajele pe care le vezi. În lungile văi însorite se întind livezi de meri și, oriunde te-ai opri, poti servi un suc de mere natural cu un parfum delicios, specific montan. Odată ajuns la poarta sătucului, te întrebi ce se află dincolo de ea.

Garimpeiros dig everywhere like wild pigs. The rivers in the forest will soon be nothing more than muddy backwaters filled with mud, motor oil and garbage.

« Os garimpeiros cavam em todos os lugares como porcos selvagens. Os rios da floresta logo serão nada mais do que remansos lamacentos cheios de lama, óleo de motor e lixo. Eles também lavam o pó de ouro em rios, misturando-o com o mercúrio. Todas essas coisas sujas e perigosas tornam as águas doentes e a […]

Texas state Rep. Gary Gates fled to Florida amid winter storm

Another Texas pol skipped town while the state was crippled by severe winter weather, it emerged this week.

Republican State Rep. Gary Gates is under fire after he flew his private jet to Orlando, Florida, Wednesday as his constituents in Fort Bend County struggled without water and power, the Houston Chronicle reported.

“It really would have been nice to have a state representative helping on the ground, working at a warming center, packing food, etc. rather than immediately (flying) off on a private plane when the going got tough,” Brian Walz, one of Gates’ constituents, told the paper. “My neighbors didn’t get to do that when her pipe burst.”
