Argentinian actors say no to open pit and nuclear mining

Conciencia Solidaria, an ngo from mineral resources (and multinational mining companies) rich Córdoba, realised a telling clip with a bunch of Argentinian actors explaining the dangers of open pit and nuclear mining. Particularly interesting are their references to the use of toxic chemicals such as cyanide, which has recently been banned by a European Parliament resolution, and the use of water that goes along with these kind of mining projects. The purpose of this clip (in Spanish) - other than awareness raising, obviously - is to have people sign a petition against mass scale open-pit and nuclear mining in Argentina. I've been told the media in Argentina refuse to put in on their air waves... ¡El agua y la vida no se negocian!
