Sugar Plantations (The Cost) - The Hidden Truth Behind Ethanol Biofuels

Monday November 14th, 7-9
The Chaplaincy Centre, Bristo Square
Edinburgh EH8 9AL

In Nicaragua large number of mainly young people are suffering and dying from Chronik Kidney Disease. At the centre of the epidemic are sugar cane plantations with extremely poor working conditions and high levels of pesticide use. The company which owns the plantations, Grupo Pellas, denies all responsibility and they have done nothing to establish the cause of this epidemic and thus to protect the communities.

This week, while protesters in cities around the world are symbolically occupying Wall Street, Indigenous Kuy people in Cambodia are "occupying" the forest that means life itself to them - Prey Lang ("Our Forest").
Right now, Kuy men, women, and children are holding vigils at sites throughout Prey Lang where bulldozers are slashing the forest to build new roads, rubber plantations, and mines. They are beseeching the invaders to stop their destructive activities and preserve this unique primary forest -- one of the last of its kind remaining on the Indochina peninsula.
