![]() ![]() ![]() I am sure some of you know about this news. Anyway, I am sharing. People died, animals died, trees are broken, the whole ecosystem id damaged. It happened due to the collapse of two mining dams in Minas Gerais state (southeast Brazil). A toxic mud run down a river and polluted the water sources. A village was destroyed and some people died. That is a tragedy and what is sad is the fact that it was due to people irresponsibility or human greed. The authorities is working out to recover the area and the damages. There was a fine bill to the mining company of millions of Reais (Brazil's currency). Some people are going to the area for volunteering work and some developed countries are supporting the mission as well. SOURCE: The Guardian
