Greenpeace Activist in Chile Tells It Like She Sees It
Ancient forests in the Patagonia region of Chile are threatened by the Alumysa project, a series of hydroelectric dams and an aluminum plant proposed by mining company Noranda, which would flood more than 24,700 acres. The Greenpeace vessel Arctic Sunrise plied the waters along the Chilean coast last week to raise awareness of the threat and galvanize activism in local communities, and Meghan Houlihan was on board, maintaining a website that documents the ship's tour and writing daily dispatches, which appear -- you guessed it -- only on the
Grist Magazine website.
