An endless and ugly landfill
Every time a location is designated for a new landfill, the announcement is followed by a chorus of adversity so vehement that it occasionally leads to violence. The arguments of the naysayers are always the same, that the dump is in an area of «rare natural beauty» or right beside an important archaeological site.
Greece is an endless archaeological site and, once upon a time, nearly every corner of the country was a place of rare natural beauty. These same corners are now being drowned in garbage.
Meanwhile, what is surprising is that no one seems to have come out in protest at the 1,500 illegal garbage dumps being operated by municipalities all around the country, while so many revolt against the construction of a proper, legal site. |
