Plot: "The Planet Salvation is Animal!"
Carnavalesco: Anselmo de Brito




Carnival 2008 will have the first school of total ecological theme



Stuffs from animal origin will be substituted by ornaments made with recycled material
 




The Animal Tribune and the Yard of San Francisco - two great animals protection organizations- had joined to the Society School of Samba Emperor of the Ipiranga, in São Paulo - Brazil  to promote a carnival in benefit of the environment.

It will have none ornaments made from animal origin. Pens and plumes that traditionally compose the fancies will be substituted by alternative materials, ornaments produced with recycled articles. The Emperor of the Ipiranga will be the first school of samba of the Country to promote a total ecological carnival. Other clubs already had taken this initiative, however, they had only placed this practice in some sections.

With the plot “The Salvation of the Planet is Animal”, the ecological carnival of the Emperor of the Ipiranga has as proposal to make alert against the aggressions and bad-treatments to the animals. Moreover, it will call the Brazil and world attention for the nature preservation necessity. The idea is to prove that it is possible to transmit these messages and at the same time to shine in the biggest popular party of the Country.

“The objective is to divulge the animal protection in the world. We go to speak, for example, of circus with animals, global heating, rodeos, the use of skins, domestic animals esterilization and responsible ownership to raise a quarrel”, affirms Altina Mabellini, president of the Animal Tribune. For it, the ecological carnival also will be a chance to promote a cultural change.

In accordance with Altina, when showing that it is possible to make very pretty and spacial event in the avenue without the use of pens and plumes, the Emperor of the Ipiranga goes will be an example for the other schools. The Animal Tribune president believes that the two thousand people who will raise this flag in the parade will order the message that the carnival enchantment can be kept with the use of alternative ornaments.

The carnavalescos of the Emperor of the Ipiranga work in sped up rhythm to produce, for example, synthetic plumes with fabric, mounted ornaments in PVC and allegoric cars with PET bottles. The fancies are ready and can be conferred in the site: www.carnaval2008.org.br.
