Campaign "Blue October"
The conservation of water sources
leaders of trade unions, peasant and indigenous organizations, networks of activists, police, academics, artists, representatives of the Mayor of La Paz and officials of ministries and deputy ministers of the executive branch closed on Sunday 28 October, the campaign "Blue October 2007" in defense of water at the fair of El Prado.
Blue October is a campaign by more than 50 institutions with three goals: 1. remind people the importance of preserving water as a community asset, 2. their awareness of the threats that loom over this natural resource essential for life and 3. fight against corporate control of water.
Activities between 9 and
October 30 October 11, rural women, indigenous people and professionals from around the country gathered at the panel "Women in Defense of Water." 10, 11 and October 12 in theaters August 6th Municipal videos on water. 25 and October 26 panels were held of public debate, wide and pluralistic. On October 28 the conclusions were socialized in the "Water Fair", using all possible media, including hip hop, theater, creative cultural spaces for children, bulletin boards, among other activities.
The main conclusions of
Blue October this year was at the center of the reflections the capitalist model, the main cause of the global environmental crisis. Environmental degradation is the most serious contemporary problem for humanity, according to several governments, scientific communities and social movements worldwide.
Impellers Blue October discussed and suggested action to address some of the most significant threats to water sources in the country such as global warming, biofuels, the "mega-dam" Wood River, pollution and the constant attempts to commodification of the resource .
development model and its rules of free trade have catastrophic consequences for freshwater and groundwater. Are melting ice caps and glaciers, which are water supplies for future generations while dramatically reducing the flow of water for human consumption due to industrial pollution. The
predatory and developmental model promotes the construction of huge dams that stop the free flow of rivers with disastrous consequences for people and biodiversity. Promotes biofuel monocultures that require large volumes of water to meet growing energy demand in the developed world. Some
society organizations consider that to assert the rights of nature over the rights of capital is not an ideology, but common sense. To ensure the survival of all living species there is no other way to radically change the way we live and think in a capitalist society, ie replace the hyper individualistic consumerist liberalism for a more sustainable cooperative communalism and austere.
human right to water: One of the most important social strategies to reverse the trend towards trade in water management is to ensure that United Nations included in the list of human rights to water access, providing a human right can not " traded. "
should be visible the contradictory relationship between human rights and the model of capitalist development and its pattern of consumption, while claiming in view the use of natural resources is the Andean world. To the Andean people, the water is much more than a resource: Water is a living being creative and transforming, the base of the reciprocity and complementarity, and a universal right and the community.
Biofuels: The increased production of biofuels will raise the price of food. The vast monocultures grown in third world countries by the corporate estates to cover the waste of the first world will be counterproductive for the environment and water sources. Before producing fuels with food, society has to reflect what it means by development. Development is not multiply accumulate wealth and consumption, copy the Western model of development is the planet to death.
The government has to define as a state policy that biofuels are not part of National Development Plan, and must state that food sovereignty is more important to export energy.
and water pollution: One of the worst enemies of the populations affected by pollution of water sources is the Mining Code in the government of Gonzalo Sanchez de Lozada, is still in force. Urge repeal this Code regulate the industrial use of groundwater and fossil water protection in the new State Constitution.
The human being should be the primary custodian of the reserves of the Earth's fresh water (2.5% of total), but, paradoxically, is directly responsible for pollution. The main causing water pollution are the urban centers, mining and oil industry, and agriculture.
The giant dams on the Madeira River Jirau and San Antonio will be built in Brazil inundate large areas of cultivation in Bolivia, multiply the rate of tropical diseases and cause the extinction of several species of fish. Despite the risks, certain sectors in the government promoted the construction of two dams (Cachuela Hope and Bala) in Spain. It asks the government to define a unique position and to identify the promoters of unsustainable development.
authorities are asked to assume a position firmer against dams in Brazil and take the initiative either to internationalize the dispute or initiating a battle in international courts. The government does not forget that wood is an international river shared sovereignty.
