this is one event i have always wanted to take part in. this year, in my newly found quality of independent self-made-almost-woman i shall materialize this wish. main reason: ecology and inform myself about how evolved are romanian ecologist NGOs. secondly: people+nature. third: music, hay jumping, some climbing , my tent and a nice guy to match it.......sounds like good fun.
nevertheless, cyanide usage in mining is dangerous and reckless and it lapses me why this is done to begin with. the campaign *romania without cyanide* needs public support, so offer yours, please: this is what you can do
note that in Parliament the initiative to prohibit the use of cyanide in mining has been taken by a member of the Hungarian Democratic Union-senator Kovacs and renown nationalist (Great Romania Party) Funar. Aparently the disaster in 2000 in Baia Mare was not serious enough for a quick political movement, or shall we take it that when big money is involved, the wheels of human decency stop turning? if this had been initiated by a single party or two of a simillar orientation, i would have tagged it as mere electoral rhetoric; since it brings these two together, even after so much time has passed from the first signal, one can only hope it passes and sustain it as best as she/he can.
to sphere it all up, get your details on Fanfest

mkai,very late edit: i didn't go to the festival, (lacking enough money) and i ended up halfway :)
again i find myself halfway while gathering the other side of the story which seems quite powerful.
for example:

and http://www.mineyourownbusiness.org/
you can find the following plausible facts: environmental activists don't actually have a viable alternative for the area. people's poverty comes second in their plans to what they presume is inescapable pollution. the RMGC company has projects to make rosia montana ecologically safe again.
