Remember to Clean up
We have to talk about the trash!
We have had the opportunity to reflect upon the garbage problem in Sicily.
On this island, we have been shocked by how garbage is everywhere.
It looks very much like people are desperate rather than neglecting.
Many small stops along the roads are full of trash bags,
many places with containers overflowing with 3-5 the volume the container could hold,
and many places along the roads trash has been thrown away, maybe out the window?
The island has a garbage recycling system like everywhere else in Europe,
but it seems the capacity does not by any means meet the need.
When crossing the mountains, we saw what was clearly EVERYTHING from a house left along the road,
dispatched over about 2 kilometers.
Toys, clothes, furniture, kitchenware, everything.
What is going on?
