I hope that this image travels the world …
“While newspapers and television talk about the lives of celebrities, the chief of the Kayapo tribe received the worst news of his life: Dilma, “The new president of Brazil, has given approval to build a huge hydroelectric plant (the third largest in the world). It is the death sentence for all the people near the river because the dam will flood 400,000 hectares of forest. More than 40,000 Indigenous Indians will have to find another place to live. The natural habitat destruction, deforestation and the disappearance of many species is a fact.”
What moves me in my very bowels , making me ashamed of being part of Western culture, is the reaction of the chief of the Kayapo community when he learned of the decision—his gesture of dignity and helplessness before the advance of capitalist progress, modern predatory civilization that does not respect the differences …
But we know that a picture is worth a thousand words, showing the reality of the true price of our bourgeois “quality of life”.This makes me really angry and sad. god.
no„,
I tried looking into some opposing groups and so far found this petition.
It may not be much, but I think it’s valid to speak out.
I was only the 129th person to sign.
Guys, this post has nearly 2000 notes, and the petition has more facebook recommendations than people who have signed it.
So far, only 190 people signed the petition. I think it’s not too hard to put your name and country on that list, rather than clicking on ‘like’. You don’t have to sign or reblog this if you don’t want to, but please, rather sign and reblog than ‘like’ this post. You’re not helping anyone by clicking that little heart in the corner.
Sign the petition guys!
