I am Brazilian and recently I moved to the US, with my wife, after living the last 12 years in Buenos Aires. I am a BA/MA in economics and a MSc. in Environmental management. I consider myself as a "realistic environmentalist" and I have been working to promote energy/environmental projects to individuals that only care for profitable investments.
