Regarding my previous post published on the 22nd Sept, I appreciate my blogging friends for sharing their thoughts about the importance of waste recycling. In addition, Mandy and Andrea underlined that still more work needs to be done on the recycling side.
The above photo shows a recycling facilty for metal scrap. It's located close to Rome. Physical resources on Earth are finite and bound by ecological limits. That's why landfills are not a sustainable waste management option. In this perspective, Alexandra mentioned health risk related to the landfill located near a residential area in her town, as it has been burning for over three weeks. Easy to see how pollution connected to landfills may harm human health and ecosystems.
The 2nd and the 3rd photos have nothing to do with environmental protection. The picture below shows a sign I saw last week in a Rome's coffee shop. I saw it after I had noticed that most people were watching their mobile phone while they were travelling by the subway.
