Germany's Latest Import: Trash One country's trash is another one's treasure.

I tried an experiment yesterday- I stacked a few pieces of trash at a corner in plain view, and added rocks to make sure the wind wouldn't blow them away. I wanted to see how long it would take before a trashpicker collected them. I looked outside every half hour, and within two hours they were gone.

Efficient work, but not a success story. The efficiency of the trashpicker system is directly correlated to the inefficiency, if not total failure, of the municipal government to operate as a service provider. One could argue that the gov't is providing income opportunities by neglecting waste collection, though trashpicking is nevertheless demeaning, dirty, and leads to health problems.

VERY interesting blog post from my cousin's good friend who's life and health were both directly affected from plastic. Plastic is an endocrine disruptor, and has detrimental effects on both women and men. I encourage everyone to read her story, and perhaps even give her experiment a try!

Kindling Health: Plastics Multiple Chemical Sensitivity. Allergies. Fibromyalgia. Arthritis. IBS. Anxiety. Depression. Endometreosis. And more. I'm moving on with my life!
