Court rules pup mills construction can continue

The International Court of Justice in The Hague rejected Thursday Argentina’s request to suspend the construction of two pulp mills in Uruguay on the ground that they pose a pollution threat.

The court ruled that the construction of the pulp mills posed no serious threat to the environment and could continue while the judges evaluate the potential risks of the pulp plants once they begin operation.

Thank author of this post/commentWell that's what Uruguay has been saying all along. Uruguay has always contended that its pulp mills are completely safe. Argentina is the one making a fuss.

Thank author of this post/commentOkay so what are people supposed to do. Eliminate all the pulp mills and stop making paper products which are good for the environment?

The pulp mills if they are run properly, by that I mean cut a tree, replace with 2 trees, can help the environment continue to be healthy.

Not only that but it also helps the economy to stay healthy as well. Better to have paper to throw in the dumps than plastic and oil based products for sure.

Thank author of this post/commentExactly Princess, you make a very good point about the dumping of garbage. I would certainly rather have paper to recycle and eventually end up in the garbage dumps than plastic and oil based products that will take millenia to break down into waste.

In fact I'm sure some of the materials thrown in the dumps never break down.

Thank author of this post/commentI do agree that they can always replant trees for those that are used in the pulp mills. If anything they could even start recycling if they think it will help.

I have to agree with that. I think those pulp mills are great help towards the economy of Uruguay. What the country should take into consideration is the effect of the tree cuttings. It would be great if they come up with a place where they can continue planting trees and take good care of that place. If they cut a tree then they should also plant another on the same spot and make sure that it will thrive there well.

Thank author of this post/comment"saving the trees"

I've always wondered why people in the US don't seen to mind killing millions of (farm) trees to display them for merely two or three weeks during the Christmas season. It's interesting that in a country like Uruguay, where there are plenty of trees, most people use fake ones for the holidays.

For the nonspellers: Urugauy and Monte Video is Montevideo (monte-vid-day-o), real estate agents are "Inmobiliaria", and of course Uruguay is not spelled Uraguay. 2151820810
