The Sacrifice Zones

Of course  nowadays there are differents environment problems in the world , the climate change alone cause disasters every month and even when people can be blamed for an amount of that crisis, in some cases the people are the only cause of the problem, especialy the  ones related to contamination , in Chile its the case of the “Sacrifice Zones” this clasification its used when a place habited by people its afected by the contamination of a determinated industrie and they  doesn’t had help from the government due a conflict of interest, traduced into a lack of intervention in the problem. The time goes by and the environment  condition just keep getting worse  and thus the conditions of the habitants life(in health and economics ways).There are several of this places, Quintero its just the  manifestation of decades of contamination, because this problems don’t appear  in one night , it just happened that come  to the surface thanks to the schools contamination problem.
Others  cases  that don't appear on Tv are  Mejillones and Huasco, in both cases the problem is the emition of  particle material  from the Mining Industries on the air, this kind of contamination its on the same category of Quintero, the toxins are in their water and the rate of respiratory  diceases its considerable . The only diference its that in their case, the  regional autorities listened the people and saw the potential problem, thanks to that  some industrial projects where canceled .
But in no time could appear another case.




That money  is whort of the people health and the environment contamination?
What is doing our government?
