1st Lieutenant Pm Geovaldo

The City is Fortaleza, State of Ceará, during this period, began its work in the Command Headquarters of the 6th Military Police Battalion, unit subordinated to the CPC (Police Policing Command) located in the western area of the city, in the Conjunto Esperança-Aracapé-Neighborhood. In this place, on several occasions, as a policing officer, he watched several scenes of urban violence and took no action. There was a social and moral decline in the young officer s life.

They have deployed a wide range of strategies and actions, sometimes building schools or clinics, sometimes occupying factories or fields, sometimes building and occupying political parties to take the reins of the state, and sometimes resisting government policies in order to protect their newfound power in commun...
The Shadows of Consumption
An environmentalist maps the hidden costs of overconsumption in a globalized world by tracing the environmental consequences of five commodities. The Shadows of Consumption gives a hard-hitting diagnosis: many of the earth's ecosystems and billions of its people are at risk from the consequences of rising consumption. Products ranging from cars to hamburgers offer conveniences and pleasures; but, as Peter Dauvergne makes clear, global political and economic processes displace the real costs of consumer goods into distant ecosystems, communities, and timelines, tipping into crisis people and places without the power to resist. In The Shadows of Consumption, Peter Dauvergne maps the costs of c...

Activists and policymakers have fought hard to make the earth a better place to live. But has the environmental movement actually brought about meaningful progress toward global sustainability? Signs of global “unsustainability” are everywhere, from decreasing biodiversity to scarcity of fresh water to steadily rising greenhouse gas emissions. Meanwhile, ...
