Trash Tides

Very amusing Green man. Not surprising though when one considers the amount of trash that gets thrown into rivers in India. For some more insight into waste in Delhi check out http://www.swfc.org.in/waste.html

This image and that swfc blog link should be headline news around the world, every day. The only way to reduce all this crap is by making it visible. Out of sight, out of mind. Hats off to Leila for the best trash blog going. Mine is the slow version, at http://www.visibletrash.net/
