Mexico (One Huge superfund site)


Our recent analysis of CFE's Coyote dump site, and Mexico's trash in general, could be viewed from another perspective. A senesent person, like me, once explained the trash situation in Mexico. He said that instead of gathering all the trash in homogeneous wads and burying in a landfill, Mexico prefers to spread it's trash, like a fine patina, over the landscape to be pulverized, dried and returned to the ecological circle. This as opposed to the US's approach.

This system actually works quite well in desert clime's, not so well in wet. Most Mexicans don't even see the trash strewn about, they see the beautiful vista and ignore the rest. I prefer to live with the former en vez de the latter.

ohhhh how the trash bothers me. I remember picking up all the trash around us while a teen growing up on the beaches of Rio.

The mentality there was that workers were paid to clean up early in the mornings.

It was so short sighted - any winds and so much trash went right into the pristine ocean.

And always remember, life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by those moments that take our breath away.

I think "sentient person" is a repetitively redundant phrase.

Trash in Messyco? It's natural.

I think you all may be right but you know how certain words just stick in your head and since there there you use them too often. I have several, senescent is one of those. I had to look it up too, obviously I never learnt how to spel it. Another word I over use is feckless but it just seems so appropriate these days.
