Havana, April 22 (acn) - Bolivian President Evo Morales told the Seventh UN Permanent Forum on Indigenous Issues on Monday that the first step in saving the planet is to eradicate the capitalist model and force the wealthy industrialized countries to pay their environmental debt.

In a long and much applauded speech at the UN headquarters in New York, Morales presented ten points he considers crucial to reversing current trends and condemned the concept of war, which he said brings profits for the empires, the transnationals and a group of families, but not for the people, reads the article in Granma.

Morales also spoke about the need to establish relations of coexistence between countries instead of subjugation and said that access to water is a human right.
