“Where DDT is used in the developing world,
malaria cases and deaths often drop by 80% or more.
Where it is not used, people die.”
– Steven Lyazi
---from the article---
Steven Lyazi, Paul Driessens’s friend in Uganda, had another brush with malaria a few weeks ago. He writes about it in his latest article, and offers his thoughts on African versus environmentalist priorities. Malaria drains some $100 billion a year from African economies, he notes, and kills over 400,000 people a year, mostly in Africa.
“And yet,” he says, “global green campaigners endlessly spend money trying to prevent Africans from using fossil fuels, promoting renewable energy and trying to sell us little solar ovens. But this great generosity does nothing to address the horrible realities of people dying now – day after day, year after year. Greens worry constantly about Africans being exposed to insecticides. We worry about dying from malaria.”
From the title Everitt I expected this to be about the Federal Reserve and the banking industry,lol. I never knew this was such an issue. Ridiculous how the $$ is always spent on an ideological cause and never the goes toward fixing the problem.

An interesting piece and something you don’t often see reported.
These green campaigners and NGOs have their own agendas, set by their mostly Western corporate sponsers, with no consultation with the communities they are supposed to be helping and unreflective of local needs.
