It's possible.
That community led development.
Two translational mining companies
criminializing leaders of the community
wrecking social havoc in the communities
standing up to the
destructive development
the name eco-terrorist
those against development
become terrorists
wars over language are faught repeatedly
for peacefully protesting an mine
extraction
violence
mining economies
34 biological jewels.
The ones with big bellies
would come and
destroy the jewel
of lush forest and birdsong
in return for 15 days
of global consumption
create desertification
12-28 species all endangered.
Mining water contamination
goes on forever
that long time
2000 years of zinc contamination
how can this happen?
The government. lack of regulations. world bank. weak institutions. corruption. unregulated investment. high demand for metals. unethical lifestyles; wrong life premises.
the cultural matrix of our lives.
they wore jeans.
jeans boots and teshirts. they stood in front of their gates. and the men came with guns and tear spray and cameo.
after dialogue with the officials they were turned over
ex military security guards
community interviewed the thugs later on. no one went to jail. not the canadian mining company that funded it all.
lost their concession, fined.
the company - the law suit in canada, - kicked out of stock exchange.
the communities triumphed over transnational mining interests.
The mining companies came to the land.
The people of the land
they had been told they were poor.
Internal peace is number one.
WHat is the point of money if you can't have peace.
peace adn security. is the most important part.
consumption and lifestyles and social devestation
and environmental devestations
we are directly involved.
how to make the connection more real?
stop being more unethical.
close link between consumption and devestation...
