Where have all the recyclables and non recyclables gone? Places like these.
We visited one of the 37 'cancer villages' located in a mere one hour drive from the center of Hanoi, and witnessing the reality with my own eyes almost got me broke down on my knees. This place looks almost like a post apocalypse world we see in movies, the end product of human desires, the consequence of capitalism in the era of consumerism. The cemetery of human greed ladies and gentlemen, lies here, and every other corners we barely reach in the world. The least we can do is probably think, before we answer to desires' callings. We are born parasites, this is just how the module of the kinda world we designed works, but at least be aware, and try to live simple.
And authorities who has the ultimate executing powers in hand, do something.
