Global Warming: Poop Less For A Cleaner Planet

(Yahoo) Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro suggested Friday that people poop every other day as a way to save the environment after he came under fire for a surge in deforestation of the Amazon since he came to power. The far-right leader offered this idea in response to a journalists question as to whether it was possible to simultaneously spur economic growth feed the worlds hungry and also preserve the environment. Its enough to eat a little less. You talk about environmental pollution. Its enough to poop every other day. That will be better for the whole world said Bolsonaro who earlier this month sacked the head of a government agency that had reported a major increase in Amazon deforestation. Bolsonaro has been criticized for a rapid acceleration in deforestation of the Amazon rainforest which covers vast swathes of Brazil and is considered vital to combatting global warming.
