“Only when the last tree has died and the last river been poisoned and the last fish been caught will we realize we cannot eat money” — Cree Indian Proverb

Us Americans complain about poor people coming here to work for slave wages, yet we have our companies in most countries around the world stripping foreign mineral resources for our own benefit

Jamaicans are such wise people. They really are on another level when it comes to expressing their feelings!!🇯🇲

Love to Jamaica from the USA! Don't let another country takeover beautiful Jamaica! Jamaicans, you are the descendants of brave and powerful men and women, stand tall Jamaica!

Jamaicans needs to purge these corrupt politicians

Thank God for Vice our Jamaican media would never do a piece like this. Great work.

This is the kind of journalism we want.

You can’t replace the soil it needs to be left alone, this makes me so mad I pray the people in Jamaica do whatever it takes to stop this and never let it happen.

Jamaicans don't want they lands to turn into the middle east. Fight back Jamaica fight! 🇯🇲

Jamaica just doesn’t seem like a big enough place to accommodate mining without it having a massive negative impact on the people.

I remember visiting Jamaica when I was young....it was a beautiful place and some truly amazing people. This is not ok and my heart goes out to all those affected.

“Money comes, money goes…this we only have once” That gave me chills because you know he meant that with everything.

Wtf Why are they making new mining sites. It's literally not necessary. Not just cuz if the environmental impact but because we have so much aluminum already that needs to be recycled. I work in shipyards. They throw away so much metal. That's not including all the aluminum cans that get thrown out. And the metals the US Navy throws out.This stuff can easily be recycled and treated to whatever type of aluminum you need to use. Get a contract with these shipyards and collect their metals and process them into what you need. You can still make your money and people will still have their jobs. Stop stripping the land of resources. We have done ENOUGH!

“Extracting our own blood to pay our bills.” I felt this in my soul.

Well articulated story. Thank you, from Jamaica 🇯🇲

My heart goes with the people of Jamaica. Peace be with their hearts and swift strength in their actions.

This is something ALL Jamaicans should come together and fight

Respect to those brave people trying to protect their land.

Truly eye opening! Thanks for capturing this so well. We really have to engage further on this grave reality.
