    • Rainforest Action Network has been campaigning strongly to end this atrocity and raise awareness for what it's doing for the health of the locals and the environment.

    • Thank you for adding this film! All of us are involved with this. Not only are the local people terribly affected by the desecration of their home, but we who use electricity sadly add to the problem every day... In the end we all breathe the same air and drink the same water - you can't affect one local environment without affecting the whole, the earth is like our bodies, one whole body of extraordinary life with its own intelligence - poison one part with toxins, you end up poisoning the whole!

    • A good Bud of mine cant stop it, but wants to help fix the after. Showalter Micropower wants to replant old sites with trees, not grasses. But thats just one very small company (future). He wants to replant them with free trees from his system. Trees do a better job with mine run-off then grasses. Some day.:)
