Chile contra la Destrucción Ambiental y la Injusticia Social

Miles de personas marcharon en todo Chile a favor del Medio Ambiente
www.elmostrador.cl
Bajo el lema "Chile contra la Destrucción Ambiental y la Injusticia Social", se desarrollaron en diversas ciudades marchas, complementadas con números artísticos y talleres sobre temas ambientales que congregaron a unas 50.000 personas, según los organizadores.

Decenas de miles de personas se manifestaron hoy en Santiago y otras quince ciudades de Chile contra los daños ambientales provocados por proyectos industriales en distintos puntos del país, informaron los organizadores.

Las manifestaciones, convocadas por grupos ecologistas, protestaron especialmente contra la destrucción de un santuario natural ocasionado por una planta de celulosa en el sur del país y un proyecto minero que significará la destrucción de tres glaciares en el norte.

También contra las emanaciones de una planta de tratamiento de aguas residuales que afectan a varios sectores de la capital y el funcionamiento de un vertedero de desechos que ha matado miles de aves y peces en un humedal próximo a Santiago.

Bajo el lema "Chile contra la Destrucción Ambiental y la Injusticia Social", se desarrollaron en diversas ciudades marchas, complementadas con números artísticos y talleres sobre temas ambientales que congregaron a unas 50.000 personas, según los organizadores.

Todas las marchas y manifestaciones se desarrollaron en completa calma, dijeron fuentes policiales.

En Santiago, unas 3.000 personas desfilaron por el centro de la capital chilena, en una manifestación que culminó con la presentación de varios artistas en un parque de la ciudad.

Los manifestantes denunciaron la existencia de "una relación impropia" entre grandes grupos económicos y el Gobierno y llamaron a las autoridades a "comprender que el dinero de algunas empresas no es más importante que la salud de la gente".

Así lo señaló a Radio Cooperativa Ximena Rosales, dirigente de "Acción por los Cisnes", una organización surgida en la sureña ciudad de Valdivia a raíz de la muerte de miles de cisnes de cuello negro a causa de la contaminación del santuario del Río Cruces, ocasionada por los desechos de la planta de celulosa.

La dirigente llamó al gobierno a cambiar la legislación ambiental "por una que realmente tome en cuenta los intereses de la población" y que sea participativa, "porque los ciudadanos tenemos derecho a decidir".

No se puede volver a pretender instalar un proyecto como el de la planta de celulosa "sin antes hacer un estudio integral, económico, ecológico y ambiental", concluyó.

Además de Santiago, fueron escenarios de las manifestaciones las ciudades de Antofagasta, Copiapó, Tierra Amarilla, Vallenar, Valparaíso, Quillota, Concepción, Chillán, Temuco, Panguipulli, Valdivia, Osorno, Puerto Montt y Quellón, entre otras.

Poverty and Politics

Live 8 has brought poverty to the world's attention and instilled mass fervor for political intervention; but, we are all participants in ending world poverty. We must understand the individual power in our personal purchases and the kind of system we choose to support through those purchases. All too often we choose the cheaper more convenient products that contribute to poverty, environmental pollution, and social displacement by feeding a system of imbalanced wealth and distribution. Here in the US and in many other parts of the world, social responsibility is not a thought when one is poor or has less than riches. People choose to buy more for less, thereby giving money to corporations with cheaper prices and not supporting each other through independent business by cutting back on wants and feeding social need.
Now, think about this: At the recent Conference on World Affairs (University of Colorado), Judith Morrison Executive Director of the Inter-Agency on Race in Latin America (IAC) brought to our attention the difference in having a leader who fosters social awareness, President Lula of Brazil (former factory worker), with other national leaders. The staggering difference is the fact that Mexico has over 700 Walmarts and Brazil 112. Lula has truly given power to the people through their proclivity to make socially responsible purchases despite economic hardship. Why would they do such a thing? What can the rest of do with our careful purchases? And, what ideals are we supporting at this very moment? Take a look at the products around you.

Live 8 Concert at Hyde Park London

I thought that the Live 8 concerts in London and across the world really made history on July 2nd as the largest show on earth, thanks to Bob and Bono. I think this massive display of People Power will help put pressure on the G8 leaders when they meet in Scotland. I also like the general idea of organising a rock concert to raise awareness about issues like Poverty in Africa. The rock stars have fans who care about what they do or stand for and so the fans will always support their stars.
