URANIUM MINING and HEALTH

ALEC invites community members to become informed about the risks to health posed by living close to a  uranium mine. The Public Health Association - NT Branch, launches this excellent new short presentation: Uranium Mining and Health (20 mins)

BUILDING A UNITED COMMUNITY AGAINST ANGELA PAMELA URANIUM DEVELOPMENT

ALEC is totally opposed to uranium exploration and mining in the Alice Springs water catchment, 23 km from the Post Office. ALEC invites individuals and groups in Alice Springs who share this concern to consider ways of working together to build an informed community that recognises the threats to our health, economy, environment, culture and diversity.

ALEC BOYCOTTS DATA MINING

ALEC will not be attending any so-called ‘community consultation’ sessions by the global market research company Synovate on behalf of their client, uranium miner CAMECO.

ALEC believes that Synovate are in town to ‘data mine’ our community.

In Synovate’s own words “Data mining refers to the process of discovering hidden patterns and relationships in order to increase clients' ability to use this information, to improve their competitive position and to improve their profitability”. (www.infocy.co.za)
