Impressions from the people’s summit 2012 in Aterro do Flamengo, a great restaurant in Catete and no time to cook!

17 Jun

As the UN summit on sustainable development is under way in Rio, about 50.000 activists from all around the world are in Rio to raise awareness to the causes of indigenous populations, diminishing ecospheres, risks of nuclear energy or the future of mega cities among thousands of others. They are meeting and exhibiting in Aterro de Flamengo parque which has been tranformed into a two week activists camp.

Greenpeace sailed their new Rainbow Warrior to the harbor of Rio, and people are awaiting their next big awareness coup after they have taken over Sugarloaf mountain, Christ redeemer statue and the bridge to Niteroi in former years.

Great to see that the volunteers from the Red Cross Rio branch were also present with first aid posts:

Last week friends took us to a great restaurant in Catete, Carmelo, in Rua Correia Dutra 75. It has a great atmosphere and a wonderful italian inspired menu with a twist. I had lovely pasta with nuts, pesto and prawns – sure a meal to remember!
