Brazil is the largest country in South America. Its home to about 200 million people and variety of ecosystems. The connection between the society and the environment presents two major issues to the enormous country. One being the amount of poverty that floods throughout the area and the other being a crucial amount of environmental damage. This relationship can flow either way in a positive or negative aspect. Research shows that there can be a benefit rather than a detriment. Researchers in the observed articles all presented a problem that related to Brazil that involved poverty and the environment. Certain topics such as water quality, climate change, and recycling habits arose in the articles. After discussing the issues, they jumped

The research acquired a total of twenty different sampling stations in the Rio Verde Lake Basin. Data was obtained during major flow and rainfall periods. After obtaining it, a variety of factors were the measured. Amounts of Nitrogen, Phosphorus, and dissolved Oxygen would assist in the creation of the matrix. Another thing needed would be the information about the land use that surrounds the basin. For instance, agriculture plays a main role in the water quality of aquatic ecosystems in Brazil. Fertilizer can lead to high spikes in nutrient concentration posing a major threat to basin. The 2PAM would simply help on analyzing the effects of pollution from surround areas that apply to the basin.
Once the matrix was created, the Rio Verde Lake Basin was still considered to be in a positive aquatic state. Many of the different concentrations of substances were very low. This sense of monitoring could help land-use officials to create different policies that would help their nearby ecosystem. This kind of matrix can apply to any given water source to present concerns and lead to ideas to deal with …show more content…
Tons and tons of recyclable materials are thrown away every day. Calculations by Lino and Ismall also described the amount of money that can be gained if Brazil were to start processing their waste. This would allow a better society to prosper. They proved how much recycling could very well end poverty. Results from the research showed that 8.9 million citizens suffer from poverty. If the country were start to recycle materials, they would have thousands of jobs involving waste collecting available. This would increase the average income of families. Brazil can then use the money being made to hand out even more grants to those in need. They just need to realize what great of an opportunity they’re missing out on.
All three articles play a part in the big picture of Brazil and its two major issues. Poverty cam benefit from the environmental problem. If the amount of poverty decreases then the vulnerability from climate change would also. The whole concept seems like a tangled rope that can’t be straightened out due to no effort from the heads of
