China is Sinking in Garbage (33 pics)

Posted in PICTURES       7 Dec 2010       15648

Almost 1/3 of China is sinking in garbage. Local recycling plants can process only 50% of the domestic garbage. Ecology of many cities is under threat, because the mountains of trash grow by 4.8% per year. And if this situation doesn’t change in the nearest future, all Chinese landfills will disappear under the trash by 2015.

City Became a Garbage Dump (30 pics)

These are photos of Marseilles, France. It seems that the garbage collectors have been on strike and this is the result. Apparently, they are trying to force the President to raise the retirement age to 62. But I doubt if the President is having any trouble getting his garbage picked up.

The City of Garbage (20 pics)

Posted in PICTURES       1 Sep 2010       14171

Manshiet Nasser is a strange community in Cairo, Egypt. People call this place The City of Garbage because tons of trash come here from all over the capital of Egypt. The most unusual thing about this place is that people actually live here. Another strange thing about Manshiet Nasser is that local residents, the Zabbaleen, including women and kids dig through the garbage looking for something to resell. About 80 per cent of this trash is recycled and resold later on.

Cairo is not the only city on earth where such a model of Manshiet Nasser exists. It is already copied by communities in Los Angeles, Bombay and Manila.

Here is another set of pictures on Cairo.
You’ll see in this post "Zabbaleen", an unofficial labor force collecting garbage all over Cairo. They collect the garbage and take it out of Cairo to their ‘garbage city’.

Take a look at the first part too, you’ll see more pics and also have more explanations.
