Prisoners in Brazil adopt carbon-friendly drug trafficking
Obviously drugs -- even the legal ones -- aren't very good for you, and most will get you arrested (or worse), but rumor has it that some people still take them anyway. So, with that in mind, the least you can do is work towards a more sustainable habit. To see all the substances we've covered in this series, see our Guide to Green Green Drug Use.
Prisoners in Rio de Janeiro have found a new way to minimize their carbon-footprint while smuggling drugs into Brazil's overcrowded prisons. Instead of baking a cake or digging a tunnel, these crafty prisoners turned to the original air mail -- tricking their guards with the zero-emission delivery services of the carrier pigeon. Long before overnight air delivery, carrier pigeons were used to couriered messages back and forth between towns hundreds of miles apart. In fact, the outcome of the Battle of Waterloo was first delivered by a pigeon.
For months, guards were perplexed by the amount of contraband finding its way through the prison's high tech checkpoints; until one of them noticed a pigeon wearing a cell phone-sized backpack. Sure enough, it was full of drugs. The pigeons had lived inside the prison walls and had been adopted as pets by the prisoners. Friends and family would smuggle the birds out and once they were released, the pigeons returned home bearing gifts.
