This week in trash news:- As the Italitan trash crisis continues, Neopolitans force the city to reopen an old dump;
- Garbage remains a multi-million dollar cash import in Virginia;
- The Supreme Court reaffirms that trash is NOT private (I mentioned this earlier, but it bears repeating);
- A dispute between Belize City local officials and their trash hauler leads to smelliness;
- Plastic generated by tourists plagues a river in India, despite the best efforts of the government of Norway to step in and solve the problem Viking style;
- Cynthia Rowley envisions designer garbage bags and for some reason CNN thinks this is news (yeah, I know, I’m a hypocrite for reposting but I’ll bog anything that allows me to diversify the photos around here….I’m sick of trash piles).

wow! did she really say “disposable clothing”? are the diapers she is talking about going to be disposable as well? she’s not exactly a sustainable model is she?

Yeah, my take/hope was that she didn’t mean it literally. Either way, thumbs down.

Leila, maybe I’ve said this before, but I really enjoy and look forward to reading your blog. I like the different perspective on a shared interest, hearing about trash-related issues I don’t normally cover or think about (always good to broaden my horizons, I think), and your humor. And last but not least, you find stories “in my own backyard” (LAC) that I missed (such as the Belize piece here) and inspire new blogging ideas for me [now if I can just find the time to actually blog them! 😦 ].
Thanks for doing “everydaytrash.”
