Toxics Action Dump Site in Bonfol Switzerland
A large eye is build by activists on a land adjacent to the Bonfol toxic dump site to show that Greenpeace is keeping an eye on the developments made by the industry in cleaning up the site.
Greenpeace activists construct a large eye on land rented by Greenpeace adjacent to the Bonfol toxic dump site. Five years ago Greenpeace ended its occupation of the dump site after the industry agreed to clean up the site and to pay all costs. However five years later nothing concrete has been done. The chemical industry presented an insufficient plan and has shown a growing unwillingness to fulfill its earlier commitments. Greenpeace has rented the land neighbouring the site in order to watch further developments on the dump site.

Chemie Aktion Dump Site Bonfol in der Schweiz
Bonfol, 13. Juli 2005: Anlässlich des fünfjährigen Jubiläumes der Bonfol-Deponie-Besetzung pflanzen Greenpeace-Aktivisten symbolisch Vergissmeinnicht auf dem zur Deponie angrenzenden Grundstück und errichten einen acht Meter hohen Wachturm. Ein riesiges, darauf thronendes Auge signalisiert: „Greenpeace is watching you!“ Die Besetzung endete aufgrund der Einwilligung der Basler chemischen Industrie (BCI) zur Totalsanierung der Giftmülldeponie. Im Jahr 2005 ist die Totalsanierung blockiert, da die BCI die Sanierungskosten nicht tragen will und das Projekt ungenügend ist. Greenpeace akzeptiert den Entscheid nicht und greift zu neuen Mitteln: als neuer Bonfol-Landbesitzer, Deponie- Anlieger und BCI-Nachbar wird sich die Umweltorganisation für ihre neuen Rechte für eine saubere und sichere Totalsanierung einsetzen. An der begleitenden Pressekonferenz nehmen neben den Organisationen des Collectif Bonfols auch Vertreter der Gemeinde Bonfol, des Kanton Jura, der BCI und Novartis sowie verschiedene Zeitzeugen und weitere Gäste teil. © Greenpeace / Ex-Press / David Adair

Toxics Action Press Conference on Dump Site in Bonfol Switzerland
Greenpeace activists construct a large eye on land as a symbolic watch-tower. The land is rented by Greenpeace and is located next to the Bonfol toxic dump site. Five years ago Greenpeace ended its occupation of the dump site after the industry agreed to clean up the site and to pay all costs. However five years later nothing concrete has been done. The chemical industry presented an insufficient plan and has shown a growing unwillingness to fulfill its earlier commitments. Greenpeace has rented the land neighbouring the site in order to watch further developments on the dump site.
