Trash floating by the Neabsco Creek Boardwalk. It's only been open a few years. If you build it they will come. Built so people could see nature but turned into a place for nature to see people. Most of it probably washed down from the storm drains on the streets though. The inconsiderates throw their trash out the window on the street. You can't have anything nice in Prince William County. It used to be a nice place. #pollution #WaterPollution #trash #garbage #PrinceWilliamCounty #Verschmutzung #Wasserverchmutzung #"PollutionDeL'eau"

On a rare snowy night, I took my camera and wandered around my town. I didn't aim for a garbage bag from the beginning.

In Hefei, the capital of the Chinese province Anhui

San Francisco Square in the Historic Center of Quito.

 

From left to right, in the San Francisco building, you can see the doors of the Chapel of Cantuña, the Chapel of Villacísla, the main church, the convent and the museum.

The Church and its chapels (La Iglesia de San Francisco), which were considered sacred places.

 

Together, Church and Convent encompass three hectares including 13 cloisters (six of them major), three churches, and a large courtyard. In total, about 40,000 square meters of construction. San Francisco follows the classical typology of medieval monasteries. The main Church is the guiding axis and from there the cloister galleries extend: the refectory, the chapterhouse, and winery. These define a quadrangular courtyard, with the four respective pandas, or galleries: that of the chapter room, the refectory, the converts, and the mandatum. In addition to the basic dependencies of a convent, there were areas devoted to health care, education, crafts, a garden, and even a jail (to maintain strict discipline). The kitchen and dispensery operated in the cloister of services.

Walking from the Old Town’s narrow colonial streets into this open plaza reveals one of the finest sights in all of Ecuador: a sweeping cobblestone plaza backed by the mountainous backdrop of Volcán Pichincha, and the long, whitewashed walls and twin bell towers of Ecuador’s oldest church.

The Public Square (Plaza de San Francisco) was a purely urban space, demarcated and connected to various public activities (teaching, market, water supply).

Sad part of our History.

 

In pre-Hispanic Quito, the current lands of the Church and Convent of San Francisco were occupied by the royal palace of the Inca Huayna Cápac, before the advance of the armies commanded by the Spaniards from the south and the impossibility of defending the city the indigenous general Rumiñahui arranged the total destruction of it. In the city fire the palace was destroyed and buried under a huge amount of rubble and garbage. One of Rumiñahui's soldiers was the great-grandfather of the indigenous Cantuña, who as an eyewitness to the events had full knowledge of what was buried in the place. The construction of the church and convent of San Francisco began around 1537, just three years after the Spanish foundation of the city, with the completion of a provisional temple that was maintained until 1550, when construction of the current building began and which was completed around 1680. Although the building was officially inaugurated in 1705.

Life in the dumpyard

Another set of Genereal Electrics powering an empty garbage train, a new way at the time to remove all your household debris to a landfill, are at Croton waiting for a crew. These trains were somewhat welcomed after the fall of the General Motors plant at Tarrytown, NY providing a second set of freight trains for the east shore of the Hudson.

A somewhat (perhaps) boring story about the recycling system in Hammarö/Sweden.

 

1. Food waste (extra snowballs on the bin, here!). Stored in small compostable paper bags (being a single person household I maybe produce around two small bags every week (so the bin is massively oversized for my use). Being picked up by the garbage truck every 2 weeks.

 

2. Everything that's left over after sorting out:

Paper packaging.

Plastic packaging.

Metal packaging.

Glass packaging (sorted as colored and uncolored).

Being picked up by the garbage truck every 4 weeks.

At this moment we have to take the above by our selfes to the recycling station. Plans are that we will be able to sort and dispose of them in various bins at home, and having them picked up by the garbage truck, as well.

 

And btw, the garbage trucks are totally automized, the driver never gets out of the truck. The emptying is totally done remotely from inside the truck.

But it's my responsibility to put the bins "in position" by the road when it's time for emptying.

 

It would be interesting to know how this process is working where you live :-) Please share if you want!

   

I am getting a little back into street photography - took this snap of a refuse collector yesterday in my town with my walkaround compact camera.

8160 and 8142 drop into Picton Tunnel with the first empty garbage train from Crisps Creek as 2120 to Banksmeadow.

Lamentations 4:5 “Those who once feasted on delicacies are now starving to death in the streets. Those who grew up wearing expensive clothes are now dying amid garbage.”

Happy 2010!!!!
