Entitled "Wanting" (bit shocking for some should not have been she who put it), Mayra Montero presents the reality that we face in our beautiful little island says many of the ills that are happening in Puerto Rico are painful but the country can recover them. The only thing that is irreversible is the damage to nature. I quote parts of the spine:
What is however in a lifetime damage is done to her nature. In such cases there is no going back, which is ruined not be renewed more than ever. No recovery possible after it wipes out a forest, overturn a body of water or fill a wetland, and the resulting plane is covered with cement. The word hypocrite and appeal in this picture is mitigation. Sweep around here, but trees planted there. Moreover, two saplings for each felled trunk, in extreme generosity. However, most of the time, worth and are irreplaceable are falling. And not needed elsewhere, but precisely where they were.
That is the urgent need to defend now that by the grace of greed, and partisan give and take has been checked out. But the problem is that so many fronts, many concerns about many issues, it is almost impossible that people can put all your attention and energy on key issues such as the damage that will cause the pipeline, if built ; or intermittent claw has been receiving Karst area, and those that are coming up.
Last Tuesday, without going any further, it was released a letter from a consulting firm hired by Tourism Company, which specify the sites to be of "free" to build hotels and shopping centers in areas of the Northeast Ecological Corridor.
...
Sometimes the same people who travel to jungle areas of Central or South America (Costa Rica, Panama, Brazil) and marveling at the integrated tourism projects to nature, blending with their surroundings, they also enjoy a great host, are then to Puerto Rico can not imagine anything other than the devastation, the shimmering plains of cement, Palmerita scorching golf courses and general.
... As soon
crushed, dismantled, removed and paved, without remedy. Ni recovery. Neither will ever be what it was.
Who wants something in life like that for your country?
The answer to the question of Mayra is that those who love Puerto Rico do not want that and keep fighting, as do those of Sierra Club, the Coalition for the Defense of the Northeast Corridor and other groups that Fortuño government and the contractors that keep considers terrorists. Certainly this government's Such Is Life does not care because with the millions who take can live anywhere when the island was scorched. As I said one analyst, "capital has no homeland."
