Por G. von Hammer  

Colombia posee una de las minas de carbón a cielo abierto más grandes del planeta: El Cerrejón. Es una llaga antropogénica de cerca de 70 mil hectáreas.

El Cerrejón es un cáncer de piel de la Tierra, producto del hambre energética del primate que se autodenomina Homo sapiens. 

Si bien es cierto que la mina de carbón El Cerrejón es una fuente de trabajo, asimismo es un foco de contaminación medioambiental  y una explotación causante de problemas sociales y de salud.

Es una de esos monstruos que alimentan las industrias que el humano ha inventado para sujetar su tren de vida moderno patogénico que ya lo lleva rumbo al matadero.

Años atrás, según la prensa, El Cerrejón era propiedad de las multinacionales BHP Billington, Anglo American y Glencore. Estas se repartían este pastel tóxico por partes iguales.

Las  noticias más recientes anuncian que Glencore se ha convertido en la única dueña de El Cerrejón.

Los chinos, a raíz de su insaciable demanda energética, ya tienen la mirada o el bolsillo puestos en este tipo de minas en Colombia.

Para las personas interesadas en la salud del planeta, el siguiente artículo contiene abundante información sobre esta mina de carbón a cielo abierto en Colombia:

The same way there are land grabbers, there are also commodity grabbers in this world. At the root of it, both are basically interchangable.

The commodity grabbers hoard, trade, speculate and make money dealing with Earth´s natural resources. They conform a small club of traders of goods such as cocoa beans, soybeans, gold, wheat, corn, meat, palm oil, copper, aluminium, etc.

They are the global vampires that work day and night, year round, moving up and down, right and left goods so that consumers, you or anyone, never run out of stuff in the market. 

In this never ending cycle, consumers could well do without many goods that are not good if only they were ever able to ponder on how much impact they cause on the Biosphere.

The future if we have any future at all is in our hands. 

Waking up is the first step in this matter that should be a matter of concern to all of us.

Do you have any children? 

If so, think twice before you are reaching for what should never be reached in this reaching business to reach for happiness which cannot be reached reaching for what you think if reached you will reach it. 

Happiness cannot be reached reaching outside. It is a matter of reaching and bringing peace to the turmoil inside your head.

The fight for the Biosphere starts within you!

Have you reached for what you should have not reached today? Are you consuming your children today?

Squandering is not the way to go (Video 1). Quit being disconnected from the whole of life.
