Cement firm (CEMEX) puts the wild back into wilderness
« on: April 02, 2011, 08:32:09 AM »
Although you have to ponder here to think wether CEMEX is doing the right thing or not, one thing stands out: They are surely making an effort to bring back the Ecosystem,originally established, back on it's feet.

 Long term investments, high cost of sustentability, economic crisis hitting CEMEX's wallet, the greatest threat of all being in the middle of a Narco War, bad press from their worldwide operations pose a real challenge to see if the company will be able to see this project thru in the next decades.

 None the less, San Antonio Express News did a good job in posting this story from the Maderas del Carmen area project. MDC, as we call it around here.

 Check it out, nice story and pictures to go along.

high in the Maderas Del Carmen



2720 is the number you need to keep in your head. If you managed to top Loomis Peek...a.k.a El Pico de MDC, then you hit the second highest peek in Coahuila....2720 Meters above sea level .... :icon_frown: (wish i was there).

Felicidades to you both.

 "Boaz doesn't take many photos"

I don't know QS I'll bet he does, he just stores them in that hard drive between his ears.
