RE: Ecological Movie "Garbage Dreams"
We have this on a small level in a few states, but only the states that are willing to charge people an extra nickel per bottle/can. When homeless people pick these up, they can be redeemed at any store for a nickel each. So we have to spend a nickel first to get a nickel back. There is no profit involved with the USA version of garbage clean up. Also, any garbage not worth money (80% of it) stays on the ground...... Looks like my country could learn a thing or three from Ukraine. Thanks for sharing. I will tell my President about this and he will say, "no" because he is a giant, gaping asshole. Much love! <3
In Ukraine the level of recycling is very low too. Our government is also paying foreign countries for garbage service.
But it is clear, that, if some one do business out from garbage, so it has profitability. Especially if wide this business up to cover other countries.
Garbage recycling in my country is not in priority. That is why we are doing what we can and help others.
I believe in face of carrying people, like you, your president will soon have no choice))) He will listen and act.
For meow I am going to do what my boyfriend does, pick up trash while waiting for the bus, or after a music festival (you can find free goodies this way) and after/during camping/hiking. It doesn't pay, but if you are there anyway and have the means to take it out, may as well right? Thanks for the response.
