The short explanation of this alert was:

Stop Cargill's Newest Plans for Destroying Rainforests!

Agribusiness giant Cargill want to build a new mega-port in Asuncion, Paraguay to export 1,000,000 tons of soybeans per year.

The port will be just one third of a mile away to the water intake of the public utility company that provides drinking water to over 1 million people. Water contamination associated with the port construction will lead to a higher incidence of cancer, leukemia, and respiratory illness.

Cargill already built and operates an illegal port in the Brazilian Amazon, but this hasn't satisfied its insatiable appetite for rainforest destruction.

Tell the government officials in Paraguay responsible for the port construction to stop it now!
