WORTH IT?
Primarily responsible for the air pollution that harms the residents of Greater Victoria, the valley shone in the government of the State of the event which marked the partnership for operation of the Capixaba Centre for Hydrometeorological Monitoring (CCMH). The action is part of the Adaptation to Climate Change Program and "fits like a glove" to the strategy of "greenwashing" promoted by the mining company, recently included in the list of 50 biggest polluters in the world. Ironic? Contradictory? All this and more.
The position of the Valley in the ranking is part of a survey conducted by the Carbon Disclosure Project (CDP), an independent organization that monitors the main companies related to global warming. Brazil, only Vale and Petrobras entered the cake. Undoubtedly contributed to the high levels of emissions that gave the company more negative this title, the plants installed at Shark Point.
To seal the partnership, much pomp and circumstance, as usual. The main attendance were the governor Renato Casagrande and the president of Vale, Murilo Ferreira. The mining company helped build the "ultimate Meteorological Radar in Latin America", sold as the highlight of Capixaba Project of Hydrological Monitoring Center, where she will also participate, with the installation of 25 Hydrological Stations. The announced investments of R $ 20 million from the government and R $ 40 million of Vale. At least that's what they say.
And where is located the so Radar? In Portocel, port terminal of Aracruz Celulose (Fibria), another pollutant emitting greenhouse gases and deforestation left and right to native forest, which contributes to global warming. Technical visit carried out another day there also was attended Casagrande and his staff, representatives of Vale and Portocel.
But do not talk about money Aracruz in business, the company only "reap the laurels." It's not always the case, the company lives firming "partnerships" and more "partnerships" with the state government. It's part of the game.
The money invested by polluting projects like these is a strategy that aims to guide the actions of the companies commitment to tackling natural disasters and climate change. They also participate in the dissemination of information on emissions and discussion forums on the subject programs. The idea is just "show service" and try to thus hide the impacts that generates the places where it operates.
The mining company primarily has targeted its target for the issue, as it records every year, recent growth in their emissions across the country - in the Holy Spirit, so ... Which is why investing heavily in advertising. The Justice on Rails, an organization that follows step by step the company the other day pointed the size of which is this makeup: R $ 180 million per year, only in marketing.
Then Anything goes, to promise reduction of 5% of their overall emissions of greenhouse gases (GHG) projected for 2020. But while deceiving the people, and posing in the photo alongside government representatives, the company tries license its eighth plant in Tubarão, which will worsen - and - emission rates in Greater Victoria. Account for this, with the help of always your biggest partner, comrade brother the state government.
