caption_attribution_description: English: "No + caca" (in Spanish something like, "We want more poop") was a protest caused by the installation of a sewage treatment plant near the commune of Cabrero, also affecting part of the city of Monte Águila, in Chile
context_page_description: Monte Águila is a Chilean city in the Bio Bio Region. Its population is 6,574.
context_section_description: The city has been affected by phenomena related mainly to pollution caused by bad odors. One of the most recognized cases relates to the expansion of a liming and wastewater treatment plant, belonging to the Essbio company, through its Biodiversa subdivision. This produced a social movement, led in large part by the Municipality of Cabrero, which was destined to end the project, which was known as "No + caca" (chilean spanish for "We don't want more poop"), which included marches to the regional capital, Concepción, to demonstrate the discontent of the population of the commune. Monte Águila would be affected because this plant, located 3.5 kilometers (2.7 miles) from the city of Cabrero, since it is located near the southern part of the Membrillar sector of the city. Despite the demands, the National Environmental Assessment Service rejected 11 claims made by the Municipality of Cabrero, this happened so, because, in the words of Fabiola Palma, who was then head of the environment of the municipality of Cabrero: "the entity mayor may not make formal claims, since it is part of the public bodies that must rule before environmental requirements", this left the neighbors without a concrete solution and pending an action against the lawyer Paula Villegas in the National Service Environmental Assessment (SEA, spanish for Servicio Nacional de Evaluación Ambiental) of the Bío-Bío Region. The project received formal support from the Director of the SEA and six Regional Ministerial Secretaries or Seremis, while 2 Seremis and the regional mayor of that time Jorge Ulloa voted against it.
