Even though I was not there I could see the video in Youtube a couple of hours later and the comments of many other people about his speech. Some of the Brazilians I follow on Twitter have even said that, in moments like these, they are really proud of the President they have. Well, I am not sure if we can give all of these compliments to President Lula, but he sure made his point in this speech.

In one particular moment, we shot a video for the Indian Youth Climate Network, discussing some topics related to climate change really briefly. But the most interest part certainly was the visit of professionals of many media outlets, such as The Huffington Post Green editor Katherine Goldstein, NY Times Andy Revkin and the journalism for Guardian George Monbiot, as well as Kumi Naidoo, Executive Director of Greenpeace International. The most awaited person though, was Naomi Klein, a "Canadian journalist, author and activist known for her political analyses and criticism of corporate globalization".

Sometimes, people think I am very sentimental for these matters but I pledge for the right to inspire people and alert them that hope is necessary. In addition, for me blogging is a way to spread hope to everyone, whether if we're discussing Climate Change or any other issue. Investing in hope is much more rewarding than throwing meaningless words out of our mouths. Investing in blogs is to keep nurturing hope with personal perspectives on the world.

I went from my hometown Salvador, in the northeastern part of the country to the extreme south in Porto Alegre; then I went to Rio de Janeiro, spent a week in São Paulo and got back to Salvador. Twenty-one days away from home. I could blog about my entire travel experience, but I’ll actually tell you some of what I realizations after my unique São Paulo cosmopolitan experience.

If Brazil entitles itself as one of the greatest world economic powers and wants to play a pivotal role in the international community, it should start right now in Copenhagen.

The event reach the mainstream media of the whole world and was the top story of Google News aka the topic of the day! With more than five thousands events worldwide, what lessons should we learn from this event?

This year's topic is climate change, especially timely because of the upcoming UN Climate Conference in December in Copenhagen. Portuguese-speaking bloggers have been excited for weeks and have now published many posts to contribute to the cause.

Born in the poor state of Acre, home to the Amazon Forest, she was Brazil’s Environment Minister from 2003 to 2008, during the Lula presidency, when she helped reduce deforestation by 60%. Nevertheless, she resigned after a series of events and difficulties in the government’s environmental agenda.

To catch their attention, we need to resort to something that really touches their lives. We need to be sensitive and combine the use of information with the affection and love for our lives and our children’s lives. After all, “no one cares for the polar bears”.
