Small Island + Big Aluminum = Big Problems!

There's a Master Plan in the Island of Trinidad that calls for the forced industrialization of South Western Trinidad with THREE!! ALUMINUM SMELTERS, Urea, Ammonia, Melamine, Nitrate, Fertilizers, UAN, Urea, Acetic Acid, Formaldehyde and Ethylene plants and other gas based and chemical industries. All this against the wishes of the community! Help us save our rainforests and our way of life.
