Did you know that Planet Aid supports programs in Brazil?

 Did you know that Planet Aid supports programs in Brazil?  Beginning in 2007, Planet Aid began supporting “Humana Povo a Povo em Brasil” (HPP Brazil) in their mission to create sustainable development in rural parts of the country

 
HPP Brazil operates Child Aid community development projects in two areas of the poor northeastern state of Bahia, Cansancao and Quijingue.  Recently, Clyde Fonseca, a former Planet Aid employee went to volunteer at the Child Aid project in Quijingue.

When Planet Aid was started

 When Planet Aid was started, the idea was simple; there is an enormous disparity between the wealth we have in America and the extreme poverty in the developing world.  Our organization began as a response to these grave inequalities, to support fights against hunger, poverty, illiteracy and environmental degradation in sub-Saharan Africa.

Global Warming, Climate Change, and Winter Weather

 As the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change met in Cancun, Mexico last week to forge a pact to cut greenhouse gas emissions, the unusually cool weather in Mexico, Europe, and elsewhere gave skeptics the opportunity to poke fun at those claiming the planet is warming. But the truth is that these episodes of cold weather have not tipped the evidential balance toward an overall cooling trend.  The World Meterological Organization maintains that global warming remains real in spite of the bouts of cold weather (also see this more technical discussion).
