Environmental issues

A few years ago I became to worry about environmental issues, and for all the things that happen now with the economic system in which we live. You Know, the power of destruction of the Industry and the criminal way in that is performed the exploitation of natural resources.

In Chile, this picture is not very good. The state doesn’t care about the nature. The production of copper is more important that the destruction of the environment and even more important than quality of life of the community. You can see that with the town of “Ventanas” in the north of the country. Ventanas is located near Codelco S.A, company that has contaminated every place, the houses, the sea. But not only this, Codelco contaminated the human and animal life in neighborhood. People consume metal waste in the air and workers of this plant had a strange cancer that leaves their skin green. People of the community call them “Green man”.

I’m worry about this issues because happen in every place, and in every time. The things that we consume are contaminated, the air we breathe. And the industry has no mercy. Monsanto destroys agriculture in the whole world.

And more close in Chile, the water going to be a problem. Industry need to take the control of the rivers to create more and more hydroelectric systems no matter what people think.  

And for all this I think the environmental problem, is not only talk about recycle and sustainability. It’s talk about human rights.
