I saw this in one our local papers, and I just wanted to see what your thaughts are, especially if you are one of the recreational drug takers mentioned.
'Columbias vice-president, Fancisco Santos Calderon, appealed last week to recreational cocaine users in the UK to ponder the impact on Latin America's vanishing rainforests before pandering to their tastes. He told a conference for senior police officers, that not only did land mines protecting plantations and processing laboratries kill 900 Columbians each year, but 30,000 hectares of rainforest were destroyed for coca cultivation. he did not say in so many words that middle-class users were hypocrites, but he did point out they were often concientious individuals who drove hybrid cars, recycled and were concerned about the environment. Perhaps santos's stats will succeed where the law has failed, by persueding users with green conciences, not only in Britain, but throughout the West, that once and for all, the time has come for them to put their money where there mouths are, not their noses.'
I find that astonishing.
Also the recent insight how Coca-cola behave in these countries towards farmers, and individuals as well as how much land is dissapearng to pasture, in able to supply Macdonalds and Burger King.
Does any of this concern people enough to stop your habits?
