Occupy Wall Street has spread to the South American continent as leftist Peruvians are demanding an end to gold mining in their country on the grounds that miners are ignoring “Mother Earth” green policies.
The Houston Chronicle reports that, “demonstrators in Peru resumed their protests on Monday against plans to develop a $4.8 billion gold mine, saying they fear the mine will harm their water supplies.”
Approximately 2,000 Occupy Peruvians joined the demonstration in the northern city of Cajamarca displaying signs reading, “let’s defend our sources of water, now or never.”
