Acciones locales contra la basura: mujeres zinacantecas se organizan. (2006).
La basura se ha convertido en un problema generalizado no solamente para las ciudades sino tambien para los pueblos y comunidades en Chiapes. En el municipio de Zinacantán al igual que en la mayoría de las localidades rurales, la cantidad de basura doméstica ha aumentado en los últimos años y esto se debe principalmente a los cambios en la forma de producción y de consumo. También son las mujeres quienes batallan contra las enfermedades que provienen de la basura y del agua contaminadas como son los dolores de estómago o la diarrea y por quemar la basura sufren más dolores de cabeza, catarros y gripes. En el 2005 algunas mujeres zinacantecas socias de la organización ‘Mujeres Sembrando la Vida’ le pidieron al Foro para el Desarrollo Sustenable una asesoría para emprender acciones prácticas, para combatir el problema de la basura.
