    Jos?? Roberto Fonseca should be awarded for his excellent research and actually DOING something to help the people of this poor region of the world. We should all take his example. sunlighttech.com has some excellent solar incentive programs that we should all be doing here at home.

    This is the result of an excellent work executed by serious and honest people. As a brazilian woman born in Macei??, Alagoas, I???m very happy to see my State in the headlines for a good reason. Congratulations for Jos?? Roberto Fonseca and all the staff of EcoEngenho. It would be excellent if brazilian politicians got inspired and did similar actions to the poor people in my country.
