Help the rainforest, buy a condom
Brazil's got a new product line: Amazon condoms.
The government has started producing rubbers from the rubber trees in its vast northern jungle. Brazil is trying to offset some of the cost of importing condoms for its massive AIDS prevention program. Brazil says it is the world's largest single buyer of condoms.
The factory will use locally harvested latex and help bring in revenue for Amazon residents. Officials expect the new factory will produce 100 million rubbers a year. They'll go by the name "Natex."
