Project Disappeared: Memory, Truth and Justice
Project Disappeared is an attempt by diverse human rights organizations and activists to keep the memory of the disappeared alive and search for justice. It is a place to get to know and to remember the victims of State terrorism in Latin America and the world. And it's a place where to also get to know the kidnappers, the torturers and killers responsible for the disappearances and deaths of thousands of people. Finaly, it is a place where to begin to learn, understand and analyze what State terrorism and the practice of forced disappearances means, and fight so it never happens again.

More Lights, More Diseases?

Noise Pollution
Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health
Why is the World So Loud?
The Atlantic. Nov 2019. Noise pollution! "Experts say your body does not adapt to noise. Large-scale studies show that if the din keeps up—over days, months, years—noise exposure increases your risk of high blood pressure, coronary heart disease, and heart attacks, as well as strokes, diabetes, dementia, and depression. Children suffer not only physically—18 months after a new airport opened in Munich, the blood pressure and stress-hormone levels of neighboring children soared—but also behaviorally and cognitively."
