RE: Different Ecosystems At The Museum

But my friend... Mmmm... It's true what you say, we lack centuries for these things and I think our government lacks the will to do it. Maybe if they did it as an example in some neighbourhoods and then little by little they would extend it, it would be possible to impregnate people with this culture. Sometimes I feel so helpless....😔

That would be the smallest problem. The bigger problem is, I don't think your country is ready to deal with selective waste recycling and reusing. You need technology for that and huge investments. Obviously you know the local situation better, but till they are lacking so many things, this would be their last or smallest concern.

The EU has given each member state, till 2050, to reach 100% garbage recycling. Some countries are close or already there. My country is still lagging. We have selective waste collection and bins everywhere, most likely recycling is working to some extent, but the people ... well, some can't seem to be bothered.

Sort:  

It is true that technology and huge investments are needed, and in the midst of the lack of so many things.... it is not a priority. I know that. That's why I said I feel powerless or helpless, whatever. It's a big systemic problem, that's the conclusion of all this.
And there is a reality, people need to have access to things. Because otherwise, for example, this rubbish disposal thing, they'll do it anywhere. In my neighbourhood, for example, a while ago they put new containers for that. After a few months they disappeared. There are people who steal them to use them as water tanks. Can you believe that? Terrible, Erikah.
Well, I'm not taking up any more of your time. A hug and have a nice day. Let me catch up on the art. 😉
