Reflexiones en torno a la contaminación del medio ambiente andino

This paper deals with one of the most serious problems that Peruvian people are undergoing, which is not uncommon for the rest of Latin America and, in the long run, for the whole Planet Earth, namely environment pollution. This paper will be presented in four short parts. The first one deals with the justification of the paper. The second one is a report about the income produced by mining in Peru. The third one will present a contrast between the mining zones in Peru and their social reality. Finally, two proposals will be presented that could contribute to make the mining profits in Peru much more just.
