The meeting lasted an hour, with the participation of the film director Pino Solanas, well known for his film &#8220;Dirty Gold&#8221;, about mega-mining. They spoke about water contamination and the Pope mentioned that he is preparing an encyclical about nature, humans and environmental pollution.<br \/>\nAs an image is worth a thousand words, the Pope demonstrated his opposition to shale gas fracking and the contamination of water due to mega mine projects, posing for two photographs. One with a t-shirt that states that &#8220;Water is worth more than gold: El Agua Vale mas que el Oro&#8221;, and the other stating &#8220;No to Fracking&#8221;. The concern from His Holiness was clear when the following cases were mentioned to him by Fiscal Gomez, including Barrick Gold, Chevron in Argentina and Ecuador and Yasuni, among others.<\/p>\n<p>Special thanks to Richard Charter<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Pope says NOPE (Not on Planet Earth) to Fracking and Mega-mining Environmental Justice Organizations, Liabilities and Trade Pope Francisco welcomed a group of Argentineans, including an EJOLT member, Antonio Gustavo Gomez, an Attorney General from Argentina, yesterday on November 11th, 2013, in the Vatican.
