Brasília (AFP) - Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro suggested Friday that people "poop every other day" as a way to save the environment, after he came under fire for a surge in deforestation of the Amazon since he came to power.

The far-right leader offered this idea in response to a journalist's question as to whether it was possible to simultaneously spur economic growth, feed the world's hungry and also preserve the environment.

"It's enough to eat a little less. You talk about environmental pollution. It's enough to poop every other day. That will be better for the whole world," said Bolsonaro, who earlier this month sacked the head of a government agency that had reported a major increase in Amazon deforestation.

Sure it’s a joke but don’t tell your liberal friends. Let them believe it’s a great way to save the environment.

Libs couldn’t do it.
They’re so full of crap that they have to crap on someone every single day.
If they couldn’t crap on someone every single day....well...they’d go insane!!!

Maybe that’s why Nadler is FOS. He probably only goes once a month.

I'm sure it was a joke but it makes as much sense as most of the crap the environazis come up with.
He is about to learn that libs have no sense of humor.

Shhh...AFP hasn’t got the sarcasm yet.

I thought he stores up the “S” so it comes out during those stupid hearings, or in front of the press. Explains the belly.

Why not once a week?

I do believe he was pulling the reporter’s leg.

I tell them to stop exhaling, to reduce CO2 in the atmosphere.

Now they can call him the “Biden of Brazil”.

As if they're not uptight enough, now you want to add constipation to the mix?

[Tolerance Sucks Rocks]

DANG!

[fhayek]

I will give up my poop when they pry it from my cold, dead,...

Oh never mind....

[Steely Tom]

In Brazil, they don’t flush used toilet paper down the toilet. They put it in a garbage can that’s always in every bathroom.

Rather anal-retentive of him. Farts away.
