an example:
alberto@marmota:~$ FOO=bar
alberto@marmota:~$ bash
alberto@marmota:~$ echo $FOO <--- FOO is not available in this shell
alberto@marmota:~$ exit
alberto@marmota:~$ echo $FOO
bar
alberto@marmota:~$ export FOO <-- Make FOO available on the subshell
alberto@marmota:~$ bash
alberto@marmota:~$ echo $FOO
bar
alberto@marmota:~$ exit
