Brazil has a strong arm in hidro-eletric power, and solar power. Those are two things we have a lot here in Brazil: sun and water ;)
Some areas near the coasts have windmills generating electricity as well, but as I plan to still be living in the southeast of the country, my festivitie or event will most probably still be powered by hidro-electric dams allied with solar pannels.

I am at home, living near one of the major urban centers in Brazil. I don't like the life on big cities, so I'll be working on one city and living on another.
I am eating with my wife. By 2020 , my family will still have some agricultural activities (they have since before I was born), so part of the vegetables I will be eating will be coming from that.
Brazil doesn't face space problems for agriculture, so my food will probably still be comming from a local supermaket. The vegetables…

I live in the most industrialized and prosperous area of Brazil. It is difficult for anyone in my position to even imagine someone suffering hunger or extreme poverty situations. Even in the slums sorrounding major cities (the "favelas"), people don't starve.
But there always was (and still are) many areas of the country, mainly those far from dense urban centers and on our northeastern mainland (wich is basicly a desert -…

I expect that by 2020 I will be living in Brazil, probably in a city near the big major urban centers of the São Paulo state. Probably will be working with computers , preferably in a development of creative position. Paralel to that, I expect to still be part of the secular humanist group I am initiating this year (2010), taking the proper steps and actions to ensure the secular constitution my native country so proudly has.

Limiting our thoughts and ideas limits our potential of success. As a scientist, I learned that the mind must be unbound in order to tackle problems with as many options as possible.
Children do this, every day, every single second of their early lives, until us (adults) begin to build up limits. Some of these limits are positive, but most (either for religious or cultural reasons) will neutralize entire "idea-chains". A person must have limits that he CONCLUDED via rational thinking and…
