Here is an example of how the internet can be used to pass information along.
This kind of sharing & passing on information & knowledge can be used positively.
In this case to raise awareness, especially where the media hasn’t highlighted the issue concerned or where people have missed it. The net can be used as another additional medium. Then people can act from the issue.
So, if a person sends this to 10 people & those 10 people send it to another 10 people & the process continues at least 6 times, then this positive chain can reach 1 Million people. 10x10x10x10x10x10 or (10 to the power of 6) = 1 million.
So passing information on, can be powerful

JUST TAKE A MINUTE – its yours to take.
The Brazilian congress is now voting on a project that will
reduce the Amazon forest to 50% of its size. It will take 1 MINUTE to
read this, but PLEASE put your names on the list and forward this on as
instructed below.
First, some facts: the Amazon rainforest is responsible for
the generation of 20% of the oxygen that we on this earth breathe, 30% of
the world's freshwater is contained within the Amazon basin, 60% of the
cancer fighting drugs used today are derived from plants that can only be
found within the Amazon rainforest.
The area to be deforested is 4 times the size of Portugal
and would be mainly used for agriculture and pastures for livestock. All
the wood is to be sold to international markets in the form of wood chips,
by large multinational companies. The truth is that the soil in the
Amazon forest is useless without t he forest itself. Its quality is very
acidic and the region is prone to constant floods. At this time more than 160,000
Square kilometres deforested with the same purpose are abandoned
and in the process of becoming deserts, meaning that this proposal is in the
short-term interests of a few, & in the long term interests of none.
Please copy (cut & paste) the entire text into a 'new
e-mail', put your complete name in the list below, and send to everyone you
know.
(DON'T JUST FORWARD IT - AS IT WILL THEN END UP WITH ROWS
AND ROWS of '>'s -
which discourages people from sending on)
