This year.s Star Wars day I dedicate to fight against one of the dark lords that brings destruction and death wherever it appears.
A summery of its misdeeds is given in this text A Shameful History of Human and Labour Rights Abuses And Environmental Degradation Around the Globe but also can be found in many other txts and reviews.
...the reality is that Rio Tinto’s current operations are more in line with their past apparent collusion with fascist and racist regimes than their stated policies of respect for communities, workers and the environment. Despite the company’s claims, there are countless examples of alleged human and labour rights violations and environmental devastation perpetrated by Rio Tinto around the world and over decades.
The need for resources produced by such companies is not in question, but the way they do business is unacceptable. Can that be changed? Hope yes, if we all raise our voices.
I want to believe that dark forces like this can be stopped with the power of us, common people, I want to believe that our voices have some meaning, I want to believe that democracy is not just on paper.
I want to believe but also am afraid, knowing how dark side is seductive; knowing how politicians make decisions, how easy is to corrupt those who make decisions to sell their lands and their citizens, how a handful of money gathered over our shoulders can wipe out entire areas...
What ever happens, one thing is sure: if we want to succeed we have to try and fight for what is valuable to us.
Not just the land, but everything.
Please help us save a piece of land in the country that already suffered much; it is still beautiful but every day healthy areas and unpolluted grounds are less and less :cry:
There is a petition with the explanation why this is important; this quote is just a piece of it.
The outpouring of inevitably polluted water, as well as underground waters which contain arsenic, mercury and lead, would contaminate entire river basins and continue their journey across the Adriatic to the Drina and Sava, polluting not only Serbia but other countries' water sources as well.
The river Jadar flows into the Drina. The Drina is the only large basin in Serbia that belongs to the second category in terms of water quality. The first category is water that can be drunk.The river Jadar flows into the Drina. The Drina is the only large basin in Serbia that belongs to the second category in terms of water quality.

Please help by signing or at least by spreading the word.
Thank you all in advance!
Loved this post - Rio Tinto and dark forces like them have a lot to answer for.
Encouraging you to post within communities for more exposure or notice - suggesting Natural Medicine or Abundance Tribe here!
May the 4th be with you also.
Thank you! I don.t have simple explanation why I haven.t take participation in communities; even ppl that I follow are so few. Maybe bcs I am not very active, like some that post every day, and take serious to read posts before upvoting or commenting and that is quite a read :)
