Darn what a day! Watching the NEWS last night was a grim reaper's fright mare. As we all know that typhoon season in the Philippines has returned its fury and the result? FLOODS. Metro Manila was submerged in filthy water laden with garbage! What the hell just happened? Rivers and canals have garbage all over the place. The flood was knee deep and in other parts of the city, the flood waters were over 5 ft. high. Incredible. I never seen something like that when I was in the Philippines. The flood never rise up to the knee it was just puddles for some kids to kick in their boots. I think it has something to do with the amount of garbage that get stuck from the drainage or where the stream of water should flow to the river. That's one thing that Metro Manila should need, a weekly collection of garbage.
In Canada, there's big bin of garbage being collected in every block or if you live in a townhouse a disposal metal container and a recycling bin are provided for tenants. The garbage and recycling products are then collected every week. It's a great business for waste management company. Mind you, the collectors of garbage here are "engineers!"
What happened to the collected garbage? Those garbage are then sort out, the rest are then dumped in the dumpsite. In other countries they have a "processing unit" where they used garbage as fertilizer, batteries and source of energy and electricity. Russia and North Korea make use of those garbage as source of nuclear power.
UNBELIEVABLE? You should read Marie Curie's autobiography. How she discovered plutonium and uranium because of garbage.
