Environmentalists Blue. From muralists conservationists to environmental Journalists

In the mid-eighties, we declare ourselves environmentalists, and start a concept mural conservation and sober in the various walls of the city of Maracaibo, Zulia State, Venezuela. It was agreed to incorporate icons where the criterion was one, giving each wall a clean and esthetic sense, introducing figures from the foliage and fauna of the region. Until then, the city walls were equipped only with old outdated advertising campaigns. We had a tenacious defense for every space conquered and many confrontations with the political parties who once tried unsuccessfully campaigns run him over with his hunters or "dirty" wall. A little more than 400 murals were recorded in the first 10 years, and always with Mr. Antulio Rondon, now a Journalist, as first diagram or training of new muralists.
In subsequent years, we are looking to raise environmental awareness among citizens, developing journalistic initiatives on solitary environmental topics, ecological and conservation. For a long time we kept full pages in local newspapers, or we simply provided to the media our writings. Then, we turned to the action of making complaints, because all it seemed too "light", for the immense ecological or environmental contingencies which we lived. The coal dishonorable route that was going through the city from end to end, leaving a coal dust, all kinds of allergies and respiratory diseases, each time their funeral trucks were transporting the coal.
The uncontrolled emission of gaseous pollutants from the Petrochemical Complex "El Tablazo", rashes, conjunctivitis, asthma, children with atrophy, and dozens of strange deaths that were recorded as "normal facts of town." Amen, the dusty cement from San Francisco, poisoning the locals. And of course, the greatest victim of our great national weakness, our inability to be productive, to seek other sources of development, our Lake Maracaibo. This July 25, incidentally, turned 87 years of uninterrupted oil poisoning. Mr. Jorge Perozo, Mr. Elio Nava Ms. Beatriz Rios, they were part of those brave unsung heroes.
The witness now has BLUE the third generation environmentalists, have spent 24 years, and the only ones who had grown old are these problems for over two decades and we are still overwhelming.
The challenge now is to inform, by any means and in real time, give notice, give the alert. Mounted on the information superhighway, cyberspace, with their social network. Today, we continue to feel useful, now from CANAL AZUL 24, from BLUE CHANNEL 24, from Facebook with "Blue Environmentalists II", making environmental journalism, defending the new flag of humanity that began almost 25 years ago.
