"We went to places where the oil that is being extracted out of the ground is mixed with toxic chemicals to extract the oil from the petroleum and then the sludge that's left is dumped into open pits and left there like a pond of a toxic waste. As the waste is coming out, they light the fumes on fire ~ and at one point this toxic pool that we were standing in front of caught on fire. Right around that toxic pool were at least twenty different families homes who used to live in a beautiful jungle and now live in a toxic dumpsite that catches on fire all the time."
