Mercury pollution has become so extensive that the Environment Ministry estimates that half the water consumed in Colombia comes from sources potentially polluted with it. And much of the fish we eat also have mercury levels beyond what's considered safe.
But where is the indignation from all the people who make a fuss every day about the latest petty news or sordid little scandals? Where are the proposals by parties wringing their hands over their votes and shifting support? Have they nothing to say about how we must care for the only place we have to live in?
