European Union institutions claim that mining is subject to the highest environmental and social standards in the world. However, this notion is unfounded for several reasons. In the case of the Barroso Mine, the method proposed for the tailings dam is illegal in Brazil, Chile, Ecuador, and Peru... Moreover, the company proposes that this dam which is permanent be located less than 1km from the river, which would be illegal even in China.

“A mina contamina” is a show tells the story of a drop of rain water that becomes #polluted by #heavyMetals as it falls in and underground mine. The story is told dialogically, in a conversation between the drop and a White wagtail that is warned of the perils of drinking water from the #stream, learning about the processes of #acid #mine drainage and #bioaccumulation, but also of the human #greed and #unsustainability behind mining pollution.

All about the lies of the so called #greenTransition

"critically analyze the European Green Deal, the “green and digital” transition policies" ... " financed with billions of public money, are not as fair, green or feminist as it is said. They continue to promote a growth model based on public-private partnerships, the digitization of life and extractivism, destroying territories in the global south"

A Extremadura New Energies realiza uma operação perfeitamente calculada para penetrar no tecido educacional, cultural e social de Cáceres, com diferentes patrocínios que incluíram, entre outros, a equipa de basquete da cidade, um clube de vôlei, diferentes associações relacionadas com a Semana Santa de Cáceres e com o próprio Festival de Cinema Espanhol, que este sábado celebrou a gala dos Prémios San Pancracio

Cantaram incessantemente slogans anti-minas como “assim, assim, bate o coração da montanha”, “não à mina, sim à cultura”, que se intensificaram com a chegada dos primeiros convidados à gala. Por parte destes últimos, não faltaram reacções de surpresa à resposta cidadã, manifestando desconhecimento das razões da mesma.

"The problems involving #Canada’s mining and #exploration corporations go far beyond workplace issues. “Canadian companies are more likely to be engaged in community conflict, #environmental and #unethical behaviour,"

"Of the 171 companies identified in incidents involving #mining and exploration companies over the past 10 years, 34 per cent are Canadian,"

the scythe is sharp
The ripe is in the blind
I have my scythe in the fist
But today I will not reap
I'm going to the streets
Because I have to fight...

April is so far away,
Nobody remembers you...

Today no one goes to work
Nobody gets out to work
The fight takes place in the streets
the time is to fight
To defend what is ours
And they want to steal it from us
And there is no law that obliges me
To be fckd up....

“In #CovasdoBarroso, the enterprise #SavannahResources plans to excavate several open pit mines, which will occupy an area equivalent to more than 125 football fields, very close to our homes. The closest ones are just 200 meters away. Most... are vacant lands, but it will also affect some private lots.”
