"We are the champions, my friends
And we'll keep on fighting, till the end,
We are the champions,
We are the champions
No time for losers
'Cause we are the champions of the world."
(Queen, We are the champions)

"
It is the moment you remember you're alive
...
Com uma força, com uma força
Com uma força que ninguem pode parar
Com uma força, com uma força
Com uma fome que ninguem pode matar"
(Nelly Furtado, Força, Euro 2004 oficial hymn)

A dream that came true, a faith that I never lost is now real! WE WON THE CHAMPIONSHIP!

Urban life


A traffic jam, a so common situation in our modern society and one of the most stressful and annoying situations, too.
How boring it is to be caught in such a traffic jam when we just mean to take a 5 mins travel through the city to pick someone, or when we are already late, or, maybe, when we take a weekend off.
As we become more economically an technologically developed, consumption, waste and pollution levels tend to raise. Therefore it is important for people to realize that we can't continue dumping waste and greenhouse emissions into the atmosphere!
This terrible situation that everyone has already faced can be avoided by better street planning, but also by the help of each one of us, by our action!
How many cars travel almost empty, with only the driver inside? How many people have good public transportation alternatives to the particular car? How many of those cars consume and pollute much more than they could?
TAKE AN ATTITUDE!
  • When going work, by car, take turns and share your car with your work mates. You'll save fuel, have company, diminish the car traffic and protect nature.
  • Use public transportation instead of your own car, as often as you can.
  • Buy a low-consumption car. You'll, save money in fuel and protect nature from greenhouse emissions.
