  • bom vídeo!

  • It's not hypocrisy, to give advice in order to not make the same mistakes. The united states deforested the great eastern forest that used to cover everything between the atlantic ocean and the prairie. It will never return.

    But basically, the advice boils down to......try to create a sustainable form of development using technology that wasn't around in the 19th century. Instead of taking shortcuts and wasting precious natural resources that are not infinite. But ultimately it's up to Brazil.

  • Its hard for the US or any other developed country to tell Brazil or other developing countries to not do this because its a matter of their economic development and it would be hypocritical to do so.

  • Of course people use trains in Brasil!

    Train infrastructure is a problem throughout Latin America and is very much a product of the dictators of the 70s. It is also much easier and cheaper to invite in private coach companies to fill this void.

  • Do they use trains in brazil, figure that out first! Some nations do not use them because it is cheaper to build and maintain asphalt then a railroad.

  • Trains trains and more trains only!!!

  • please post video thank you

  • Why do we believe we are so advanced when we see this happening in the 21st century?

  • .. well this is a very well made video and clearly a professional work... it is very informative and even talks about Brazils past .. the idea of this long distance road is another ethical issue ... like poverty is just is, it's in the very east from the Amazon state .. but this is a very informative video ... well done for the people resposible for the video .
