Dear friends, please pray for the protection of these glaciers,
more precious than any gold, and pass this on if you feel so
stirred.
Your water sister,
Christina (I apologize if I sent you more than one of
these==I'm still a computer clutz)
Dear friends who care about our earth. Judge for yourself if
you want to take action.
In the Valle de San Felix, the purest water in Chile runs
from 2 rivers, fed by 2 glaciers.
Water is a most precious resource, and wars will be fought
for it.
Indigenous farmers use the water, there is no unemployment,
and they provide the second largest source of income for the
area.
Under the glaciers has been found a huge deposit of gold,
silver and other minerals. To get at these, it would be
necessary to break, to destroy the glaciers - something
never conceived of in the history of the world - and to make
2 huge holes, each as big as a whole mountain, one for
extraction and one for the mine's rubbish tip.
The project is called PASCUA LAMA. The company is called
Barrick Gold.
The operation is planned by a multi-national company, one of
whose members is George Bush Senior.
The Chilean Government has approved the project to start
this year, 2006.
The only reason it hasn't started yet is because the farmers
have got a temporary stay of execution.
If they destroy the glaciers, they will not just destroy the
source of especially pure water, but they will permanently
contaminate the 2 rivers so they will never again be fit for
human or animal consumption because of the use of cyanide
and sulphuric acid in the extraction process.
Every last gram of gold will go abroad to the multinational
company and not one will be left with the people whose land
it is. They will only be left with the poisoned water and
the resulting illnesses.
The farmers have been fighting a long time for their land,
but have been forbidden to make a TV appeal by a ban from
the Ministry of the Interior.
Their only hope now of putting brakes on this project is to
get help from international justice.
The world must know what is happening in Chile. The only
place to start changing the world is from here.
We ask you to circulate this message amongst your friends in
the following way.
Please* copy this text, paste it into a new email adding
your signature and send it to everyone in your address book.
Please, will the 100th person to receive and sign the
petition, send it to* *_noapascualama at yahoo.ca_** to be
forwarded to the Chilean Government.
No to Pascua Lama Open-cast mine in the Andean Cordillera on
the Chilean-Argentine frontier.
We ask the Chilean Government not to authorize the Pascua
Lama project to protect the whole of 3 glaciers, the purity
of the water of the San Felix Valley and El Transito, the
quality of the agricultural land of the region of Atacama,
the quality of life of the Diaguita people and of the whole
population of the region.
