Interesting: I just came across a related article. It is not an article about Avatar, but about a much discussed dam that will be built in the Amazon. There are major environmental impacts. This has been a long and heated discussion and the construction has just been approved by the government.

Now Brazilian environmentalist Marina Silva is asking for James Cameron's support of her candidacy for Brazilian Presidency.
