Post 7 : Environmental Conflicts

Hi bloggers, in this post I will write about Environmental Conflicts.
 If you are from Latin America, maybe, (If at least one of your National television channel took the choice of talk about this), you have listened about what it’s happening in the territory of Quintero and Puchuncavi, two communes located at the region of Valparaiso, Chile. 

In the actuality, this territory have been announced like a “sacrifice zone” or “zona de sacrificio”, (in Spanish,) by the National Institute of Human Right or (INDH) of Chile because of there are 15 corporation damaging the environment, and among them, mining industries, thermoelectric industries, carbon industries, etc.There are severe problems with the state of water, the air and the field and as result of the pollution, people are getting sick, animals are dying, and the crops are spoiling.In general the situation is very bad, the people are manifesting his rights and the government is proposing solutions but I don’t think that they are really interested in give a final solution to this problem.

Another very important global environmental problem today is the demand and the use of plastic. We are absorbed in a global society where the most of the things are wrapped in plastic and I know that change our lifestyle is difficult but we need to make this change. I have been recycling, buying only what I need, and preferring avoid package things by buying bulk loose products. Something has to be the start point.
