Response to Don't turn PNG into an environmental wasteland in the name of development!
To start with, this notion of "development" being roads is totally wrong. Roads are only a POTENTIAL pathway to development. "Development" is having a healthy, satisfying life, and if everyone's going to the housesick because of mercury long term poisoning from mines, landslips and earthquakes from the extraction of gas and oil, and short-term sick from cyanide mine pollution and other industrial chemicals, we are hardly going down the pathway of development.
