*Saligao Garbage Struggle * * "From struggle comes victory... and freedom!"*
Dear friends of Saligao, Goa, the planet, This is the start of a *global* awareness campaign on our garbage struggle in Saligao. *Think globally, act locally. Think locally, act globally*...is an old campaign adage. It cannot be truer than for the Saligao Garbage Struggle (SGS)! Garbage is a global problem for us in Saligao, because it is dumped by Modern *Mass* Tourism (MMT) on our Salmona Hill. So while we think locally, we have decided to act globally. Local action has already started and will continue, in the High Court as well as at ground zero, in the village. And *Saligao will not stop*, till our 5 simple demands are met (see Press Note attached). *We request your support in the struggle!* The Press in Goa has been documenting our struggle very graphically: Says *The Goan...on Saturday*, *"While our "Garbage Heroes Came Home"* exactly 23 days ago... http://epaper.thegoan.net/188463/The-Goan-on-Saturday/November-23-2013#page/5/1 ...there is still *"No Spring Time In Saligao!"* http://epaper.thegoan.net/194806/The-Goan-on-Saturday/December-7-2013#page/16/2 Need we say more? Warm regards and solidarity. M&M. PS: Attached is a Google map of the Saligao-Calangute plateau, showing the present garbage dump which is also the government's proposed site for the Garbage Treatment Plant and the alternate site proposed by the the SGS (see attached Press Note + 5 demands). - M&M. -- ................................................................ there *is* *anOTHERgoa* at <http://www.an*OTHER*goa.blogspot.in <http://www.anothergoa.blogspot.in>> & <http://www.youtube.com/anothergoa> ''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''' muriel & mario, c/o FULKAR, 6/22, sonarbhatt, saligao. bardez. goa. 403511. tel: 0832-2278276 / 2409999 <anothergoa AT gmail.com> ''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''
