Science Activist Movement - Valdivia, Chile
posted by October 12 at 12:49 PM
onIn 2004, Celco Corporation opened a pulp mill near Carlos Anwandter Nature Sanctuary in Valdivia, Chile. As a result of the horrendous amount of toxins Celco is dumping into the water, within months over 5,000 black-necked swans that inhabited the wetlands were dead. Celco (banking hundreds of millions a year) have Chilean government stating that there isn’t a link between pollution and the deaths. Three years later, the people of Valdivia are still united—fighting for Celco to stop dumping waste into the sanctuary so it can be restored.
Last weekend, hundreds of Chileans came out to show support and watch a documentary about the tragedy. These musicians, dressed in elaborate bird costumes, opened for the event.

Lying puppies, dancing black swans--don't neglect the waterskiing baby pandas.
You are evil.
Isn't this one of the companies that Tim Burgess, currently running for Seattle city council, works for, one of his good clients?
It would be interesting to know what the documentary was titled, and how you could get more information about it.
