RE: There's Money in Garbage: A Collage for LMAC #144

I like the implementation of the theme very much. It's really well done. Of course, I like less what it says. As someone who travels a lot in nature, environmental protection is very close to my heart and I am often stunned how careless some of my fellow men are.
Here in Switzerland, however, it is basically very clean and garbage is separated and usually disposed of properly.
It cannot be denied that the so-called "first world" produces the most waste. This is mainly due to our consumption. But on my travels I have noticed that despite the large amount of waste produced, we still have a relatively good way of dealing with it. In Africa, for example, everything, really everything, just lies on the street or in the bush. It seems that a society with less prosperity also cares much less about its environment. Actually, this is logical and it means that one form of environmental protection would be to make sure that the wealth in the world as a whole is better distributed.
Another thing is to avoid unnecessary packaging, etc. This is something that consumers can actively influence through their purchasing decisions.
Thanks for your collage, it brings attention to an important issue!
Hello @captainloken, I checked. Switzerland handles waste responsibly🙂:
That is reassuring.
Thank you for visiting. I'm glad you like my collage, although it is an unattractive piece. As a story teller, and history buff, I tend to go toward literal collages. I am not an artist. But that's what's great about LMAC. There is room for everyone who makes a sincere effort.
Thanks for sending me down the research path that taught me more about EU waste management regulations.
Nice to see you place well in the final round of the contest this week :) Congratulations!
Thank you, its allways an honor for me to make it in to the final poll.
