Sieben Jahrzehnte sind vergangen, seit die verheerenden Auswirkungen der #Minamata-Krankheit - verursacht durch Quecksilbervergiftungen - offiziell anerkannt wurden. Die Tragödie betraf Tausende von Menschen.
Eine ähnliche Krise entwickelt sich auf der anderen Seite der Welt, unter den indigenen Gemeinschaften im #Amazonas-Regenwald. Der illegale Bergbau, bei dem Quecksilber im Gewinnungsprozess verwendet wird, breitet sich rasch aus und vergiftet die Gewässer

El Día del Compromiso Internacional del Control del Mercurio se celebra cada 23 de febrero y no es una fecha cualquiera.
Conmemora la adopción del Convenio de Minamata sobre el Mercurio, un acuerdo global que busca reducir el uso y las emisiones de este metal tóxico en todo el planeta.¿Y por qué tanto revuelo con el mercurio?
Porque es traicionero.
No lo ves, no lo hueles… pero puede dañar el sistema nervioso, afectar al desarrollo infantil y contaminar ríos y mares durante décadas.
La historia que dio nombre al convenio ocurrió en Minamata, donde miles de personas sufrieron graves intoxicaciones tras verterse mercurio industrial al agua.
Una tragedia que dejó claro que lo invisible también mata.Hoy más de 140 países se han comprometido a controlar su uso en minería, productos industriales y procesos sanitarios.
No es solo política ambiental; es salud pública, justicia y sentido común.A veces pensamos que los grandes problemas quedan lejos.
Pero el aire que respiramos y el pescado que comemos no entienden de fronteras.
Cuidar eso no es activismo romántico, es supervivencia inteligente.Porque el progreso no debería dejar residuos que paguen nuestros nietos.

#minamata is one of the most intense movies I ever watched.
It triggers so many reflections, about the so called "progress" of our civilization, neglecting with the environment and harming ourselves, in exchange of capital.
A shocking and eye opening history, hands down.
