Amazon deforestation: Brazil's Bolsonaro dismisses data as 'lies'
I see remarkable similarity in Bolsonaro&#x27;s response on a national scale to nearly every American&#x27;s response when choosing between making money and the environment.<p>Suggest to an American to fly less and over 99% will say, &quot;But my job. . .&quot; as humans fly more than ever. Not to dwell on flying, we could talk of miles driven, plastic discarded, air conditioning empty rooms, eating more beef than ever.<p>The scale is different, but the emotional response is similar.<p>An alternative: we could see ourselves as part of something greater than ourselves that benefits us all including ourselves. We want Bolsonaro to feel that way. We can do it ourselves and reduce our waste each by a good 75 to 90 percent.<p>As Frankl said, &quot;We who lived in concentration camps can remember the men who walked through the huts comforting others, giving away their last piece of bread. They may have been few in number, but they offer sufficient proof that everything can be taken from a man but one thing: the last of the human freedoms -- to choose one&#x27;s attitude in any given set of circumstances, to choose one&#x27;s own way.&quot;
