I refuse ...
When we talk about waste, we have the image of modern society. With its contradictions in the race for maximum comfort in its ability to measure it based on "consumption". And in his increasingly apparent unsustainability. So much we have fallen into this dream that all this should not go on forever, which is often annoying to hear that: we are now submerged by waste from an extremely widespread pollution air, land and water and on the eve of an energy crisis due to rising costs of resources (more and more buyer's who aspire to share their "welfare" and raw materials that are inevitably limited).
But instead of thinking about how to reverse this self-destructive process, we are arguing about what we still have 20 years, 50 years of unbridled consumerism ... "But who cares! For us, we still have a lot ', they will find a solution in the future ...".
So here is the paradox of modernity in all its force: the mountains of unrecoverable waste arising at the margins of our settlements, our cities 'civic' and it seems normal drinking water in plastic bottles, buy snacks whose packaging is as good as the content (but much more in terms of environmental damage), use and dispose of, use and discard ... And yet, children and the poor all over the world gather in huge landfills (waste from countries to "civilized") to differentiate and recover what we did! And for us it is a waste.
not about saving the world, here we have to save us from ourselves! Someone is willing to get back into a different world to rethink? Those who accept the challenge?
