as the beastie boys are coming to Chile soon, i thought.. maybe they could say something about the ecological crisis here... To brief you a little bit; being a undevelop country going to developed (as we proudly call ourselves) is not such a good thing... because there is money, a lot of money coming in and out, but no real culture to know how to handle that economic boom. progress progress progress we hear... what progress?? highways for big trucks that will go and cut the trees and chip them down in pulp mill industries to make toilett paper for everybody in the world. There is no environmental laws here so is easier for the big industries to mess up in Chile than other places..
the people of the itata valley in the south of Chile have lived for centuries growing food, producing honey, wine and strawberrys.. now a pulpmill huge industry has started its ugly business,, they have no means or money or internet, they cannot drink the water they used to drink, they are scared; but the press is commited to the big entrepeneurs so none of this reaches the news.. there is whales , waves, and beautiful birds that need help.
