sponsored by Dow Chemical, 'wrap' 2012 Stadium of the Olympic movement has the potential to make a real difference for those who are still affected by the disaster in India
The "hot" as the cover of the 2012 Olympic stadium is known, was supposed to be an opportunity to show the inclination to London for artistic improvisation, spontaneity and freshness all respects. We will save money, organizers and architects thought, and make it look like you're having fun, wrap a cloth around the props environmentally sustainable foreign steel and concrete buttresses, then cover it with someone, Well, a kind of design.
The brilliance of this device came recently when the envelope is left in silence once started saving measures. A budget of over $ 9 U.S. dollars, a feature that is potentially the primary visual symbol of the Olympic Games of 2012 were released to save 7 million pounds. Then someone came with a little more difficult, he realized that the absence of an envelope to let the wind blowing possibly javelins and hammers for VIP seats, and found a way to subsidize.
Dow Chemicals, a multinational based in the United States made an estimated $ mA 25 years of being a sponsor of page 11 of the International Olympic Committee agreed to the stump to the extra money necessary to surround the stadium structure with panels of polyester and polyethylene. In turn, obtained the right to use the land for commercial advertising until the eve of the Games. But then the toxic waste has hit the fan.
In 1999, Dow purchased Union Carbide, another chemical giant, who came to public attention 15 years ago when a factory in ruins belonging to its Indian subsidiary in Bhopal, a city of 7 million people in the central Indian state of Madhya Pradesh, exploded and filled the air and gas, primarily methyl isocyanate, an ingredient in pesticides. Some 3,000 people died in the first few weeks, more people died in the years that followed, and the total death directly caused by the worst industrial disaster the world now stands at about 11,000 in the best estimate conservative (the actual figure may be 20 000). Although the plant was closed and sold on the site, certain shareholders of Dow opposed the takeover on the grounds that the company would be damaged by association with an event so terrible.
That moment has arrived. Despite claims of Dow that the Indian government has accepted a payment of $ 470 million (300 million pounds) in the final settlement of obligations, disinterested witnesses attest to a continuing tragedy and wish the organizers of London Olympics to cut ties with a company that refuses, in his opinion, to fulfill their moral obligations.
Lorraine is a nursenearly 29 year-old from Glasgow following his studies at the School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine, six months in Bhopal this year, working at the Sambhavna clinic, serving those who suffer because of the pollution. "People mistake is to continue to say it's an explosion in December 1984," he said Monday. "This pollution is happening today."
toxic sludge, he said, was dumped in the pits on top of the plastic sheeting in an attempt to clean by evaporation. Instead of chemicals leaching into groundwater. And mud holes are still there, and the water is still used for drinking and washing by people who provide water from the government are not reliable.
"I've seen horrific birth defects in children. Late severe growth retardation, skin and respiratory diseases, endocrine disorders, cancer, rare "said
"People say they know the water tastes funny, they know they do no good, but have no other choice. And nothing is done. All Dow and over again is that it has nothing to do with them. "
Garforth Town, it was not the only English team to which the results later Socrates, large and very sorry. David Harrison, longtime member and former president of FC Corinthian Casuals, called Monday to say he was part of a visit to São Paulo in 1988, during which the English fans XI played a past and this represents Corinthians Paulista The club was founded after a tour by the Brazilian original Corinthian FC in 1910. Corinthians Paulista an ancient hero who had just finished a season with Flamengo Rio de Janeiro, Socrates has agreed to play the first 45 minutes with the white jersey of the Brazilian club (FC Corinthian original colors) - with six Brazilian international - and the second chocolate in visitors and pink (the colors of the Casuals FC, remained after the merger in 1939). The party took place at the stage of Pacaembu, before a crowd of about 17,000 - impressive, if slightly below the record 71 000 - and was broadcast to a national audience. Socrates scored the only goal of the first half before switching sides, and the match ended 1-0. I think we can accept the argument that Mr. Harrison is still the best player in the history of the Ryman League club.
