So when we talk about ecological problems, we are talking about issues of life and death. Ecological problems in El Salvador are therefore social problems, and very soon they are going to be political problems. We have a lot of air pollution. The people who have cars and who buy the goods produced in the industries that generate pollution. Besides creating pollution, the overuse of resources by some people leaves other people without them.
Poverty is very predatory.
When a poor person sees a turtle laying 100 eggs, he knows that with 100 eggs he can have money to buy food for a week for the family. So he takes them. If we want to re-establish the equilibrium of nature, we need to get rid of extreme poverty and extreme wealth. The more poor people we have, the worse it is for the environment. And the more wealth we have concentrated in very few hands, the worse it is.
