Mena he iwi o nga Amelikiri e pa ana ki a Iraki e pa ana ki nga paanga hauora o te uranium kua paheke, nga pungarehu pupuhi, nga pungarehu ma, me nga momo painga katoa o te pakanga, ka waiho pea ko te nuinga o nga kainoho o Poiharangi, o te raki. Louisiana.
Anei me pehea te op-ed i roto i te New York Times mai i tetahi kaipupuri e whakaatu ana i to ratou ahuatanga:
"Mo nga tau, ko tetahi o nga kaitukumahi nui rawa atu o tera rohe ko te Louisiana Army Ammunition Plant, tata ki te wha maero mai i Minden. I te mutunga ka whakararangihia e te Tari Tiaki Taiao te tipu hei waahi Superfund na te mea neke atu i te 40 tau te waipiro-kikii-kore i whakatoihia mai i nga mahi umanga i kohia i roto i nga raima ki ia waahanga o nga waahanga raina kawenga, 'ka tukuna ki te '16 kotahi eka he punawai wai mawhero. '”
Na inaianei (mai i Ko te Truthout.org):
"I muri i nga marama o nga tautohetohe a te Tari Pirihimana i waenganui i te Ope Taua me te Tari Kawanatanga, me nga tari a te Kawanatanga, kua whakaatuhia e te Environment Agency Protection Agency (EPA) he mahere urupare hei tahu i te 15 miriona pauna o M6 - ki te 80,000 pauna i te ra i runga i te tau o te tau - i tuwhera 'tahu rakau' i Camp Minden, he tikanga tukatuka e kii ana nga kaiwhakatakoto i te taiao ki te kore e roa, kua tohatohahia ki etahi atu whenua. Ko te mahi ko tetahi o nga pereti nui rawa atu i te hitori o Amerika. "
Ia wa i ia wa - huri noa i Vieques, Jeju Island ranei, Pagan Island - ka tutaki nga whakahaere taiao ki tetahi kokonga iti o te kaipahua nui rawa o te taiao. Ahakoa kaore pea nga roopu taiao nui e aro ki te whakahaere pakanga kia pahemo ra ano, me whakamahi e tatou enei huarahi hei akiaki i a raatau. Na te mea ko ratou tango te ope taua mo tenei weranga. He maha nga mema o mua o te hoia US ka taea te korero ki a ratou mo nga paanga hauora o te weranga ki tawahi, e kiia nei e nga hoia "te Agent Orange hou. " Ka taea e te EPA te whakakii i nga kaitautoko ki te hunga na ratou te nuinga o nga parekura taiao i te United States. Tīwhiri: Ka tiimata me te mil me te rotarota me te mokemoke.
Ko te tino kaupapa i muri o etahi pakanga ko te hiahia ki te whakahaere rauemi hei paitini i te whenua, ina koa te hinu me te hinu. Ko taua meka, he maha nga wa e huna ana, me anga ke e o taatau whakaaro mo te ao kei te heke mai. Ko nga pakanga ehara ki te tiaki i a maatau engari whakamatau tatou, na te whakatupuranga o te riri me te whakangaromanga o to tatou ao. Ko te hanga i nga hoia nui rawa o te ao, ko nga hoia ururua, ehara i te mea hei haumaru ina pa mai he pakanga pai, engari ko ta te Eisenhower i whakatupato ai, he kaihanga pakanga. Ko te $ 1 trillion ka panga e te United States ki roto i te miihini pakanga ia tau e hiahiatia ana mo te tiaki i te taiao. A ko nga pakanga mo te whakawhitinga moni e kore e whai taonga ki a tatou; te reira Tuhinga o mua i te kukume atu i nga taonga mai i nga waahi penei i Gibsland. He maha nga ngoikoretanga o tera mo tetahi umanga ko tona tino mahi patua te rota o te iwi harakore i te peke atu i to tatou nga tiwhikete tangata.
Engari, hoki ki te taiao taiao. Me te hinu. Ka taea te tahu, te tahu ranei i te hinu, ano i roto i te Pakanga o te Moana-a-Kiwa, engari ko te nuinga ka whakamahia ki nga momo miihini katoa e whakapoke ana i te taiao o te whenua, e waiho ana i te katoa o te waahi. Ko etahi e whai ana i te kohinga hinu ki te kororia me te kaha o te pakanga, kia kore ai e kaha ake te kaha o nga kaha e kore e pangia e te mate o te ao, he huarahi wehi, he kore hoki ki te whakakino io tatou mīhini. Ko te whakawhitinga o te pakanga me te hinu ka neke atu i tera, ahakoa. Ko nga pakanga, mehemea kaore i te whawhai mo te hinu, ka nui te rahi o te riri. Ko tetahi o nga kaihokohoko nui o te ao o te hinu, ko te mea pono te ope US.
Ko te ope taua o Amerika i mura ki te 340,000 pauna hinu ia ra. Mena he whenua te Pentagon, ka eke ki te taumata 38 mai i te 196 i te kai hinu. Kaore noa atu etahi atu umanga e tata mai ana ki nga hoia i etahi atu momo whakangaromanga o te taiao. (Engari ngana ki te kimi i tera korero i te hikoi paipa-paipa.)
Ko te taiao e mohio ana kaore e ora i te pakanga karihi. Kaore hoki e ora i te pakanga "whawhai," ka mohio ko te ahua o nga pakanga i tenei wa. Ko nga raruraru kino kua mahia e nga pakanga me nga rangahau, nga whakamatautau, me nga mahi i mahia hei whakarite mo nga pakanga. Ko nga pakanga i nga tau kua pahure ake nei i hanga i nga waahanga nui kaore e noho ana, ka hangaia nga mano tini o nga rerenga. Ko te pakanga "e tarai ana i nga mate pukupuku hei mahinga ao mo te matemate me te taatai," e ai ki a Jennifer Leaning o Harvard Medical School.
Pea ko nga patu tino mate rawa i mahue i muri i nga pakanga ko nga mii whenua me nga pupuhi raupatu. Ko te nuinga o nga miriona o ratou e takoto ana i runga i te whenua, me te kore e mohio ki nga panui kua whakapuakina te rangimarie. Ko te nuinga o te hunga e pa ana ki a ratou ko nga tangata maori, he nui te nuinga o nga tamariki.
He mea whakamiharo ki te whakauru i nga whakahaere i tenei wa, i era atu waahanga o nga waahanga o te pakanga whakangaro. Kei raro ko te reta kia tika te hainatanga o te hauora me te noho taiao me te taiao-taiao i roto i te ao ki:

RE: Kua tohaina te whakatuwhera o nga M6 Kaihoko i Camp Minden, Louisiana
Kaiwhakahaere Awhina Kaihautuka Giles,
Ko matou, ko nga kaitautoko, ka uru atu ki nga kainoho o Louisiana, nga kaimahi, me nga hapu i roto i ta ratou karanga kia pai ake te whakarereke i nga rerenga kino i Camp Minden.
E whakahe ana matou i te mahere a te US Environmental Protection Agency ki te OPEN BURN 15 miriona pauna o nga toa M6 kua mahue i Camp Minden, Louisiana. Ma te tautuhi, kaore he mana o te mana o te ahi ka puta, ka hua mai te whakakoretanga kore o te waikura, me nga mea whakahihiri ki te taiao. Ko te M6 kei roto i te 10 te haurua dinitrotoluene (DNT) kua tuhia hei carcinogen tangata.1
Ko nga raruraru mo te matea hauora tangata e hangaia ana e te ngaa tuwhera / whakatuwheratanga me te paanga o te taiao i runga i te hau, te oneone, me te wai, me hiahia te ope ki te tautuhi, ki te whakawhanake i nga waahanga hei whakatuwhera i te whakamahinga o te whakamamae / whakatuwhera. Ko te mahere a te EPA e whakarato ana i te mahinga haumaru me te kawe ki nga waahi ka werahia, ka taea te neke atu i enei otaota ki tetahi atu maimoatanga, ki te raanei ranei.
Ahakoa e tautoko ana matou i te kaupapa a te EPA ki te hiahia i te US Army ki te horoi, ki te whakarereketanga i enei maumaura kaore i te rongoa, kaore matou e tautoko i te wera o te wera ano he rongoa i hoatu i te waahi ki te hauora tangata me te taiao.
