When we started developing the website, we read the posts of Rosane regarding Environment & Manking in our orkut community. She reflects the things so nicely that it is understood very easily by all. So, an idea came to our mind to present her knowledge and innovation through blogs by attaching it to our website. In this way, we can help lots of people (that is the mission of our group).

When we sent her a mail discussing this idea, we got a reply in a day. You yourself read her views on writing the blog:

"The peace I have today is different from the peace I’ve dreamed one day.
Only with time, have I learned that peace is to take responsibilities and fulfill them; is to have serenity in the most difficult moments of life.
Today I want to hear and speak words that build. I want to have the courage to cry or to smile whenever I feel like doing it...
I want to accept with humbleness that I don’t know everything, but I want to share the little I know.
I like to remember that nature is so exuberant exactly because the differences it shows in its creatures. Each one of us is special, on Earth, and we have the mission that the Divine Creator has entrusted us.
I want to bring: peace, joy and much news."

Consume less to stop more carbon emission in environment.

It’ been acknowledgeable that each one of us is a consumer, but what kind of consumer are you?
Being a consumer is to be human. Is dressing, eating, having fun, it's to live.
But people are different from each other, have different needs and these differences influence in our behavior. Let’s see some factors that may determine the act of consumption:

Motivation: A person can be taken for consumption by psychological or physiological reasons. We all need to buy clothes, feed ourselves and family, and have our moments of fun, but try to reach our psychological needs through the purchase of material goods as far as most expensive sneakers or even a new outfit gives us an illusory sense that we are better ones in the middle where we live . Our self esteem can be intrinsically linked to the fact that we are not recognized for what we are, but for what we have. It is the verb to have overcoming the verb to be.

Personality: The personality of each person will determine its behavior at time of purchase. Some people identify with certain brands and start making part of it.

Perceptions: Each one of us has a unique way of perceiving the world and people around us. The way we see ourselves may be different from the way others see us, so those days when we wake up looking at a reflection in the mirror, actually this reflect mostly show our mood than our real appearance.
Every business entity makes its periodic reports: Some make profit; others don’t.
What about you? Are you used to keep track of your attitudes?

Society has experienced a massive reversal of values, where people are bought and wealthy are being conquered.
Let’s take happiness as an example. It consists of a state of the soul and not of the body. So many people who seek happiness in material possessions feel increasingly unhappy, depressed, because they put their motivation in not lasting things. Which will shortly go out of fashion and what is coming next?
It is essential to avoid falling into the illusion that we can only be a better person if we purchase more and more goods. It is not a sin to have what we want, but this can not affect in any way what we really are. And when we are able to achieve happiness inside us, no matter what we have; we will be happy simply by being what we are.

Consuming is the major enemy of Nature. And Nature is our best friend.
