The Taquaril Project
“Contrary to what many
people believe, controlled
burn-offs don’t benefit
anyone. The soil loses its
properties, flora and fauna
are destroyed and killed.
Also, a burn-off near a
electricity transmission line
can cause serious accidents
and leave whole cities
without electricity”
Essay written by student Michelle Bonfim, age 12,
of Rosalina Alves Nogueira School.

 Strengthening of Cemig’s image within the community
The energy that comes from Cemg
It’s good to wake up and see the light of the sun, to feel its
heat, its energy, its rays lighting up the day and warming the
earth. But it’s also good to take a hot shower, drink ice-cold
water, and, at night, to see the streets and homes being lit.
And there’s no longer any lack of electricity. Cemig, like the
sun, has lit up our lives! How important this energy is, that
Cemig generates. Often we don’t notice that electricity is
present in our whole day-to-day existence, and without this
energy there would be less commerce, less comfort, less jobs,
lower quality of life, less safety and fun. That’s why Cemig is a
star that illuminates like the sun.
We have to take care of nature and of the environment to be
able to continue having all this, and much more.
Some companies take care of us now that we are young, but
we can also take care of the environment by saving water and
electricity, by not wasting notebooks and food, by not
polluting rivers, seas and springs.
Our thanks to Rone and his team who taught us a lot of things
during this visit. I will talk to my parents and brothers and tell
them not to waste anything.
– Lavínia Patrícia Fernandes, age 10,
student of E.M. Edith de Assis Costa School
