What consequences it can generate the oil exploitation in our municipality. 

 

The communities of our town don't have the enough information on the consequences that this can generate us long term. Neither neither we are aware of the ecological damage that this generates in our lands ad basins hídricas. 

All believe that for that these big companies come and they toast some employment in our municipality this is enough and we don't visualize long term the consequences that this can generate us. As the deterioration of the floors and the basins of the water in what a municipality does afford them in a future to our children? On Living in a desert.

New Distracion

In our town a few days ago the construction of a synthetic pitch, where all fans microfutbol can go play with his team against his rival, of course, obviously not free was concluded, has a value of $ 60,000 an hour. It is a nice setting where you can share with family or friends, taking a soda, eating, listening to music and / or watching the game. If you doubt this edification was a direct blow to boredom, because this can have fun without limit. People from neighboring municipalities are moved to our town in the area is the only synthetic pitch.

I like our people to invest in the town by so slowly we grow, giving show our entire community.
