Although it was a difficult decision, Blairo Maggi won this year’s prestigious award for his efforts in the deforestation of Brasil. Mr. Maggi, who is the governor of the state of Mato Grosso, is known as the “King of Soy,” as he has cut down forests in order to grow soybeans. Unfortunately, Brasil has a long history of a select few individuals selling raw materials abroad. Mr. Maggi has kept the flame alive by living in the present, disregarding the future of his country by wiping out forests at record levels, all in the name of stacking banknotes. He’s right up there with the plantation (and slave) owners who made tons of money exporting coffee, cotton, and all kinds of raw, natural resources to foreign countries while paying people close to nothing for their hard labor.
