Midnite Hot Streaming

......



I've been wondering how far we get to understand that we urgently need to defend our resources natural the most precious treasure of a community ... health and welfare of its inhabitants!

"Gold only serves to increase the profits of the richest countries in the world," explains the dozens of peoples struggling against mega mining projects and say that "Gold is a useless luxury. Because without water no life.

The rich and vast wilderness, with its rivers, streams, vegetation and fauna from Jujuy to Santa Cruz, are endangered by the ambition of precious metals extracted from the bowels of the earth .- Only

mine Gold, Minera Alumbrera the (located in Andalgalá, Catamarca), exports per year 23 000 tonnes of gold concentrates. The new sites are up to three times larger, consume much more water and dynamite many more mountains. Use the extraction system called "open": large explosions rock, millions of gallons of water and sour soup (often with a pollutant such as cyanide) produce a lethal cocktail for polluting air, soil and health agua.Y locals!, we are mortgaging the future with total contempt of younger próximas. "It's a great contempt for life itself, we are thinking as "immediate" business, profit ....

is well known (and proven) that large-scale mining undermines other forms of economic and social development, such as animal husbandry, agriculture, tourism ... especially by the large number of wasted water, pollution-emitting and the disappointment that this causes to other forms of regional production.

Minera Alumbrera the : works more than 12 years Andalgalá, Catamarca. It is among the ten major enterprises of the world's copper and gold from 15. It is the largest mine in Argentina and is managed by a consortium of companies: Swiss Xstrata and the Canadian Goldcorp and Northern Orion. Pharaonic is a work that removes, per day, 340 tons of rock and use, per minute, 66 thousand liters of water. Invoices per year $ 680 million. (At what cost ... of who ...?)

Another example:

Salar del Hombre Muerto (that name ... right?) Is one of the largest deposits of lithium (used for alkali metal alloys, glass and ceramics). Puna is located in Catamarca, in the department Antofagasta de La Sierra. belongs to the U.S. company FMC Corp Lithium. Has the capacity to produce 25 million pounds of lithium carbonate and 12 million lithium chloride. It has a lifespan of 70 years. Residents accuse the farmers field to contaminate streams where they get water for human and animal consumption and irrigation.

We could go with many "bad example" in Rioja, Chubut etc etc etc ....

There is a documentary filmmaker and candidate for President / Head of government (I still believe that there is total definition) Fernando Pino Solanas on this subject, called "Earth revolt ... Gold Tainted" that puts us aware of many things we still ignore or by certain conveniences spurious fail to see .... The villages where mining is practiced to open are experiencing the great dichotomy of: having a job versus destroy its own resources and the most valuable of their lives ... their health and that of his children .-

with us?

One day we wake up and live in harmony with the earth and sky, natural resources and our brothers ... in a great supportive community ....?

come?

Until next utopia!
