End capitalism to save the planet, urges Bolivian President
Opening a UN forum in New York on the global impact of climate change on indigenous peoples, Bolivian President Evo Morales has said that capitalism must be scrapped if the planet is to be saved from the effects of climate change. “If we want to save our planet earth, we have a duty to put an end to the capitalist system,” he said, adding that unbridled industrial development was responsible for the pillaging of natural resources. President Alan Garcia of Peru said using land for biofuels was putting food out of reach for the poor.
