El Salvador Mining & Koch Industries
Originally broadcast November 17, 2005
Activists in Maine (USA) and El Salvador have joined forces in opposition to
a Canadian company's plan to build mines in farming communities in El Salvador.
We'll take a look at how these sister communities are working together.
And Koch Industries will likely be a Maine business owner soon, with the acquistion
of Georgia-Pacific. So who is this corporate giant with right-wing ties and
a bad environmental record? We'll talk with someone who has spent years learning
the answer to that question.
