But that (image DHJanzen100059.jpg above) was 1998. If you go to visit today (2001), you will find that after the first year of action, the contract was canceled by the Supreme Court because they were not sure of its environmental impact. I will not elaborate here, but let us just say that the Supreme Court staff certainly did not understand the biology of orange peel degredation, but they did understand that the orange juice company that is in competetion with Del Oro sued Del Oro for sullying a national park (recall - the ACG invited Del Oro in the first place, but in a country that prides itself on environmental consciousness, it is very easy to manipulate public opinion against anything that does not look like Bambi the Deer in a national park). But what do you find today? Across the road from the ACG biodegredation site Del Oro has now set up its own formal biodegredation site on private property. Organized, neat, with roads, guards, air conditioned tractors turning the peel/pulp on schedule, leveled, drainage canals, additives, mulching of the peel/pulp into compost, etc. |
