RECYCLING
--- PUT IN WORK THIS IDEA!!!
Recycling is the reprocessing of old materials into new products, with the aims of preventing the waste of potentially useful materials, reducing the consumption of fresh raw materials, reducing energy usage, reducing air (from incineration) and water (from landfilling) pollution by reducing the need for "conventional" waste disposal, and lowering greenhouse gas emissions as compared to virgin production. Recycling is a key concept of modern waste management and is the third component of the "Reduce, Reuse, Recycle" waste hierarchy, though colloquial usage of "recycling" can also include "reuse".

"Recyclable materials" or "recyclables"
may originate from home, business or industry. They include glass, paper, metal, textiles and plastics. Though analogous, the composting of biodegradable waste—such as food or garden waste—is not typically considered recycling. These materials are either brought to a collection centre or picked-up from the curbside; and sorted, cleaned and reprocessed into new products bound for manufacturing.

To judge the environmental benefits of recycling, the cost of this entire process must be compared to the cost of virgin extraction. In order for recycling to be economically viable, there usually must be a steady supply of recyclates and constant demand for the reprocessed goods; both of which can be stimulated through government legislation.

100 Years of Japanese Immigration to Brazil

Do you want to have a great sushi?

Between the end of the 19th and early 20th centuries, coffee was the main export product of Brazil. At first, Brazilian farmers used African slave labour in the
coffee platantions. However, with the end of the slavery in Brazil the country suffered lack of workforce. The Brazilian elite decided to attract European immigrants to work in the coffee plantations. Most of the immigrants were Italians.

In 1902, however, Italy prohibided subsidized immigration to Brazil, closing the door for newcomers.

The end of feudalism in Japan has generated great poverty in the rural population. Many Japanese began to migrate in search of better living conditions. In 1907, the Brazilian and the Japanese governments sign a treaty for the arrival of Japanese immigrants to Brazil.

100 years after that, Brazil now has the biggest Japanese community outside Japan, there are 1.5 million japanese descendents living in Brazil. In São Paulo, Japaneses have their own subdivision, called Liberdade ( Liberty), that looks a lot with Tokyo or Osaka.
