Brazil's president is getting mocked at home after suggesting that hisĀ people can help the environment by only pooping every other day.
Jair Bolsonaro, Brazil's combative far-right president who has been compared to Donald Trump, was asked by a reporter how the country can preserve the environment while continuing to deforestĀ the Amazon rainforest. He responded, "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."
Bolsonaro also suggested slowing down the world's population growth, which increasesĀ by about 70 million each year. He said, "You can see that more educated people have fewer children. I'm an exception to that rule, I have five." (Yahoo)
