Stop the Brazilian Belo Monte Dam !

Basically this dam will be one of the most inefficient in Brazil's history, diverting up to 80% of the Xingu River and forcing over 20,000 people, mostly natives in the Amazon, from their homes. Not only is it inefficient, but it's estimated that the amount of methane that will be produced from the flooding and rotting of the Amazon is equivalent to them building coal-fired power plants.

This whole situation parallels those in From the Ground Up so I thought I'd share and hopefully gain a bit extra support for the movement.

Stop the dam!
