It's a load of 'Utter Tosh'.
The article is another PP propaganda story, perpetuated by the EWN, which is callously using school children.
The article states that
Orihuela - RESIDENTS are doing their bit in the fight against global warming with the plantation of 300 new pine trees.......... in the PAU 26 area of Orihuela Costa.
Wrong!!!
The primary reason for the residents being at the tree planting was to see that the PP Council honoured it's pledge given to the residents, when it finally closed the illegal tip on the PAU 26 site. that 'All refuse will be cleared from the PA 26 green zone and that the land will be restored to it's previous natural state, with the replanting of pine trees and plants'. There will hopefully be a benefit, all be it minimal, to fight against global warming but this was not foremost in the residents minds.
I don't doubt that the children involved at the planting ('70 pupils aged 3 to 6 years from the Colegio Publico Playas de Orihuela School') thought that they were there for environmental reasons as this is the doctrine given to them by their teachers on behalf of the PP, in order to get the support of the children's parents.
The article goes on to say
The project forms part of a reforestation plan for the area, following many years of development by construction companies.
The truth is that the replanting of the trees in PAU 26 is because of the destruction of the area by the refuse collection contractors, appointed by the PP Council, operating an 'illegal tip' on this site, with the full knowledge of the council, for many years.
The PP propaganda machine might be able to foul the EWN but it doesn't foul those who fought for the closure of the tip.
