Jungle Condom Factory

The Brazilian government are offering a helping hand to the World Land Trust’s fight to save the rainforests, by building a £10million condom factory in the middle of the Amazon jungle!

The latex for the 100 million condoms the factory will produce a year will be manually extracted from the trees, meaning none of the rainforest will be damaged. The factory is based deep in the Amazonian jungle in Xapuri, on the border of Bolivia and Peru. 500 local families rely on ‘rubber tapping’ for their income (which will now double), allowing them to buy more farm animals and a better standard of living. Plus, with the lessening damage to the rainforests helping the world’s climate change, it seems the message from Brazil is :-

‘Make love, not warm’
