Soeben erreichte uns mal wieder ein Hilferuf, da gehirnlose Politiker, von denen es anscheinend viel zu viele auf der Welt gibt, mal wieder Kaffeesatzleserei betrieben haben und nun auf die glorreiche Idee gekommen sind, einen der besten Wavespots der Erde mit Scheiße voll zu pumpen. Da sich die unangenehme, braune Substanz zur Genüge auch in den Köpfen dieser Herren befindet, haben sie nun geplant, den Surfspot „Pichilemu“ in Chile durch den Bau einer Abwasserpipeline direkt in die Bucht hinein zu versauen. Eine Initiative zur Rettung des Spots hat Nicolas Recordon nun ins Leben gerufen. Er lebt in Pichilemu, ist Architekt und wohl einer der bekanntesten Surfer in Chile. Hier sein Hilferuf:

Dear Friends,
I hope this email finds you well and in good spirits. If you could take the time to read the following message it would be greatly appreciated. The city planners of Pichilemu want to transport all of the cities raw sewage directly into the ocean. Their plan is to build a pipe which will send the non treated sewage only 1.5 km from the Pichilemu shore. For those of you that have been here, the proposed pipe will be located on Pichilemu’s main beach and continue directly out to sea. There is no telling how this new construction will effect the sand bank which helps to bring surfers and windsurfers from all over the world. But more importantly, there is no way to know how damaging this could be to the local aquatic environment which the people of Pichilemu have come to rely on. A great number of people here are trying to stop this action as we feel there are better alternatives. One of which is to build a processing plant which will enable us to return the treated water safety back into the natural environment and create a viable solution to protect one of Chile’s best waves.

This is what we are requesting of you. Please send us your comments or concerns about this crises. The experience of many people who have visited Pichilemu was undoubtedly benefitted by the areas’ pristine natural environment. This current plan threatens to harm our local coastline as well as our reliance on tourism. If you could take the time to express your thoughts from a tourists perspective they will be presented through the proper channels. In other words, how do you choose where to travel. Would you go to a place that had a reputation of unhealthy water. How would you first feel about being informed that this pipe carried the town’s black water directly into the bay in which you wish to swim…etc? We are looking for an outsiders perspective. Time is of the essence and your ideas will help provide us with proof that the outside world is paying attention to this matter. Thanks in advance for your reply.

Wenn nun der Frust in dir hoch steigt, haben wir ein tolles Ventil für dich: Schreibe deine Meinung über dieses Projekt an Nicolas (yogadelmar@gmail.com) und er leitet deine Mail dann an die entsprechenden Behörden weiter. Zwei Sätze reichen! Also: Tipp los!
