  • It's sad to see how we humans see money more valuable than life. I understand we need to work but at the same time we don't need to poison our communities for money. If this companies had this gold mines behind there yard with there families living there they to would be protecting to let their children live a healthy life.

  • Claro, el comienzo del padecer de las comunidades por falta de oportunidades de trabajo y calidad de vida. Como son de ignorantes y radicales y estupidos que se vuelven contra ustedes mismos. Ni prestan el hacha ni pican madera. Primero que todo la "Mesa" no tiene ningún terreno, son propiedad de la compañía y la comunidad está a favor por la oportunidad que se les da para trabajar y el bienestar para sus familias. Mesa de radicales y oportunistas debería llamarse.

  • Ojala!

  • Digamos no a la mineria metalica en Cabanias.Este premio sera el inicio del fin de Pacific Rin.
