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."

“the rings of the cans ” A treasure or a myth?

It all begins in a dark wood, I face serpents and dragons, I fight against wild leap for over cliffs and swim against violent currents of rivers. Finally, after countless adventures, I come to a cavern, and dribble giant spiders to reach the dreamed and sweaty treasure. There it is: That huge trunk, like those on movies. I'll go running, and reach the solution for my problems (at least financially). I open the trunk and there they are: the rings of the cans! Thousands, millions! "I'm rich! I'm rich!”
The alarm Rings, waking me up to the feeling that this question haunts me.

Yes, friends, a dream! The first symptom of paranoia in someone who gets hundreds of e-mails from people who have saved "a bottle filled with rings "and will" replace it "for money”. I answer the e-mails the more informative as possible:



"Dear Joe, the rings are made with the same aluminum as cans and that’s why they have not differentiated value, etc, etc ...", already knowing that, while reading the message, the person, suspicious, will think, "I know ..." But, curiously, I begin wonder the "fascination" that causes this little part of the cans.Of course I thought:”this is Brazilian stuff!
I was wrong. In my research in internet I’ve found out that the “evil” is worldwide:
In Norway, for example, it’s said that the seals are exchanged for guide dog for blinds.
It is obvious that here – in Brazil-, in this land "full of palm trees where the thrush sings”, the chances of the blind be a fake blind and the guide dog ends up as a pet are enormous! But back to the rings ...
I continue my search on the internet and find that the problem is more serious than I thought: I see forming before my eyes a true web of intrigue and charges. Ray Parson, -Ontario- says that the fault lies in a well-know chair of fast food, which, they say, would be receiving rings donations to its charity. Suzanne Mills -Washington DC-, is quick to say that she saw (and touched!) in the box where the rings are placed. Rick Myers- Kansas City- demand: “students of the school work together in order to be provided millions of rings to hemodialysis sessions for the people in need and every effort was in vain”. Caroline Cromer, indignant, replied: "How in vain?”And she ensures that the whole family, friends and some neighbors did (yes, all of them!) sessions of Hemodialysis for free, thanks to the rings! (Do I understand it right? Did Ms. Cromer know what hemodialysis is?). Bob Hiebert, intellectual (?) New York, says he is disappointed with humanity. "At this moment when every effort should be towards to the recovery of a humanistic thought, our society is massacred by the rampant consumption of soft drinks in cans ...

"Enough! I can’t stand anymore! I Stop and think: "should I proceed? Will I be involved in something like "pay to get in and pray to get out”?
As my research in Internet brought me more questions than clarification, I decided to call an expert on the subject, perhaps he can provide some and valuable technical information about this little ring.

In my next post you will get his information.

To be continued…
