Australia's plan to ban
cigarette logos
Plano da Austrália para banir logotipos de cigarros
Australia has unveiled what it claims are the
toughest anti-smoking measures in the world.
A Austrália revelou o que afirma serem as medidas antifumo mais duras do mundo.
They would
completely ban logos and branding on packets of
cigarettes. Packets would also be plain olive green; the color that smokers apparently find least attractive.
Eles proibiriam completamente logotipos e marcas em maços de cigarros. Os pacotes também seriam verde-oliva; a cor que os fumantes aparentemente acham menos atraente.
The color olive green is the latest weapon in the
ongoing battle between the Australian government and
big tobacco.
A cor verde-oliva é a última arma na batalha em andamento entre o governo australiano e as grandes empresas de tabaco.
Under aggressive new proposals, billed as
the toughest in the world, every packet of cigarettes sold in Australia would be packaged in that color after
research showed that olive green was the most off-putting
for smokers.
Sob novas propostas agressivas, consideradas as mais duras do mundo, cada maço de cigarros vendido na Austrália seria embalado nessa cor depois que pesquisas mostraram que o verde-oliva era o que mais desanimava os fumantes.
Logos and any form of distinct branding would be
completely banned. Instead, the brand names would appear in a standard size and font, making them as bland
and anonymous as possible.
Logotipos e qualquer forma de marca distinta seriam completamente banidos. Em vez disso, os nomes das marcas apareceriam em tamanho e fonte padrão, tornando-os o mais insípidos e anônimos possível.
A greater area of the
packaging would also be taken up with grotesque
pictures of cancerous tumors and the health effects of
tobacco.
Uma área maior da embalagem também seria ocupada com imagens grotescas de tumores cancerígenos e os efeitos do tabaco na saúde.
Claiming a global first, the Australian government
says it wants to remove any remaining glamour from
cigarettes, but the big tobacco companies have
questioned the legality of the legislation. Reivindicando uma estreia global, o governo australiano diz que quer remover qualquer glamour remanescente dos cigarros, mas as grandes empresas de tabaco questionaram a legalidade da legislação.
Worried about the possible worldwide knock-on effects of Australia introducing such stringent
regulations, they’ve vowed to put up a fight - saying the
new measures infringe international trademark and
intellectual property laws.
Preocupados com os possíveis efeitos indiretos em todo o mundo da introdução de regulamentos tão rigorosos pela Austrália, eles prometeram lutar - dizendo que as novas medidas infringem as leis internacionais de marcas registradas e propriedade intelectual.

Chileans told to take off ties
Chilenos são instruídos a tirar as gravatas
Chilean President Sebastian Pinera (on the right)
is often seen wearing a tie
Presidente chileno Sebastian Piñera (à direita)
é frequentemente visto usando uma gravata
O governo do Chile criou uma nova forma de economizar energia.
It’s advised Chilean men to take off their ties during the summer months, so they won’t need to switch on the air conditioning.
É aconselhável que os homens chilenos tirem a gravata durante os meses de verão, para não precisar ligar o ar condicionado.
It’s a common sight during the Southern Hemisphere summer to see Chilean men sweltering in suits and neckties.
É uma visão comum durante o verão do hemisfério sul ver homens chilenos suando em ternos e gravatas.
From December to March, the temperature in the capital regularly tops 30 degrees Celsius. In the bone-dry north of the country it gets even higher.
De dezembro a março, a temperatura na capital chega regularmente a 30 graus Celsius. No norte seco do país, fica ainda mais alto.
So the government’s told the country’s menfolk to
shed their ties, undo their top buttons and turn down the air conditioning.
Então o governo disse aos homens do país para
tirem as gravatas, desabotoem os botões de cima e desliguem o ar condicionado.
It estimates that by doing so Chile can save around US$ 10 million during the four hottest months of the year, and save 120,000 tons in carbon emissions.
Ele estima que, com isso, o Chile pode economizar cerca de US$ 10 milhões durante os quatro meses mais quentes do ano e economizar 120.000 toneladas em emissões de carbono.
The government launched its initiative with a video
in which four ministers ripped off their ties.
O governo lançou sua iniciativa com um vídeo
em que quatro ministros arrancaram suas gravatas.
Energy conservation is a key issue in Chile, which, unlike many countries in Latin America, produces virtually no oil and gas. It relies heavily on hydro-electric power, but that often runs low during the summer, when the country’s reservoirs are frequently hit by drought.
A conservação de energia é uma questão fundamental no Chile, que, ao contrário de muitos países da América Latina, praticamente não produz petróleo e gás. Depende fortemente de energia hidrelétrica, mas que costuma diminuir durante o verão, quando os reservatórios do país são frequentemente atingidos pela seca.
