Garbage island in the Maldives

And maybe none of this would have never found out if it is not news that the garbage on the island was suspended, as there has accumulated a huge amount of it, and began the pollution of the ocean. Waste into the water and fill the famous Pacific Garbage dump island


What's even more interesting, this artificial island called Thilafushi is just 7 kilometers from the capital of the Maldives. But this is not a resort, there are no white sand and clear water - instead, can be observed only piles of garbage

The main suppliers of waste landfilled here are luxury hotels. In the garbage dig locals trying to find something to eat, or available for sale. And the island is often worth a dirty cloud of smog. Now the government is trying to take measures for removal and disposal of excess debris. What will it be? Perhaps some will find new suitable islet

In general, the rules require the delivery of waste in sorted for further processing, but the hotel simply dumped in the pile, and unscrupulous boatmen, who are too lazy to wait hours in line for dumping, just throw it in the water. The debris that still falls on the island, burned in the open air, but burn and process still does not go

Over many years of promises by the authorities to build a recycling plant remained promises, and now the problem of pollution is more than ever
