Question: How can we help places like Brazil be more sustainable

A very good question. We need to get better at working together to solve problems and use what we’re each good at. Brazil for example has a good ‘biofuel’ industry that means they make petrol from plants, we could use what they know to get better at doing that here.
But then Brazil has a problem with chopping down the rain-forest to make space for farms to grow beef that we eat in this country. That’s very bad for the environment but the farmers need to have a job!
We need to all get better at using the world in a ‘sustainable’ way, sharing things around and making sure that everyone gets a job so they don’t have to hurt the planet to live. Unfortunately at the moment a lot of things we have in the country are made by people in other countries that don’t get paid very well.
