I give Rachael Ray credit for this one. She introduced me to the Kitchen Garbage Bowl several years ago. I have 3 of these in different colours. I throw kitchen recycling in it, not garbage. I then dump it in my big recycling barrel in the garage. It's a great way to make sure you don't toss recyclables in the garbage.
This man he picks up garbage with another lady this was in front of my soi and this shows that he cares for the planet by cleaning all the garbage and making our planet clean.
Messing with HDR photography it is amazing how attractive construction equipment and garbage becomes. Seriously. You start to look at large earth moving equipment like ... ok, can't go there.
This of course led to also looking at related scenery like large holding ponds. Which collect trash after flooding in Houston. That is what this shot is of. Trash that washed up off of our streets in the rain.
What is NOT included in the photo is a shot of my foot. or my shoe. as they plunged below the surface of the mud taking the picture. Uuuugh. HDR whatever. May be one of my last as I am just not up for this type of relationship

Strangely it was the 2nd garbage truck I photographed today and the 2nd garbageman who questioned me about taking a photo of the truck. The first one asked me to delete it (which I did) - he was loading Christmas trees into it. I took this one because it was part of the whole new green bin program.

“Twenty years we’ve been coming to London and every time we have, I’ve spent the whole day on the toilet, being so neurotic, because I feel like we come from the United Kingdom.” Now that’s some statement from an ever present and seemingly unflappable frontwoman that makes you think twice about a band that come across as so strong and confident that a show at London’s Troxy venue should be a walk in the park ...

Our landlord has let this pile of garbage fester for weeks and hasn't replaced the dumpster that used to sit on this concrete pad. One of my fellow residents apparently got creative with their frustration.
Is it just me, or does the handwriting bear a striking resemblance to Bill Watterson's?
Always so very disappointing to see people leave their garbage around wonderful beaches and parks...
Colorful garbage bags on sale at the grocery store. These are specific to Kitahiroshima and if you tried to use them in a different location, the garbage collectors will not accept them and just leave them. That's because paying for the garbage bags is an indirect tax that helps fund garbage collection and recycling in each city.
Where: In front of the Federal Hall National Memorial on Wall Street, Manhattan, New York, USA.
When: Beginning of September 2011.
What: A woman collecting cans in a trash can.

we're 2 1/2 weeks into a garbage strike, and while that puts a focus on the issue of waste, the problem is still apparent even when things are going smoothly. the strike does have to end soon, hopefully via mutual agreement. beyond that, though, we generate far too much garbage, and having its presence in the face of the public every day should ideally make people think about their behaviour.
can we socialise out our bad habits? i like to think so, and education and reward strategies to reinforce the message that trash production is wrong will help. punishment can also be effective to retrain people, but of course fines for generating garbage and littering will effectively amount to a tax on the poor most often. i have no trouble targetting anyone who dumps junk on the street, but as with all laws, we'll see the disenfranchised suffer more than their share.
so, trash seems to be a problem that will be solved (or best treated) by a multi-faceted approach. to reward us, we ought to consider lowering property taxes for households that consistently generate significantly small amounts of waste (and that can demonstrate that they are not simply dumping their junk when no-one is watching) and compost and recycle the bulk of it. clearly that rewards home-owners, but will still benefit renters like me if we work out deals with our landlords to have the savings kicked back in rent-reduction and the like. we also ought to consider offering money for trash the way in which we give money for returned beer and liquor bottles. refunds on beverage containers is already a part of the way we think now, so extending the idea to juice bottles, milk cartons and bags and coffee cups isn't something to which people will have to adjust. beyond that, promoting the reward of cash for empty tin cans and other metal scrap in a way that more people than just the very few scrap collectors who take advantage of the plan would boost recycling.
we'd still have litter, of course, but incentives to clean it up could be implemented - if not financial, then in some undetermined manner via socialisation as i referred to above. that's easy on a personal level for me and my immediate social circle, but the 'clean up your neighbourhood' days some parts of the city promote haven't been as popular. financial punishment may help us, though - why not simply charge fees to the corporations whose junk winds up on the streets the most often? if you take a quick inventory of the litter in your neighbourhood (and yes, i do this all the time. i really am that much fun), you'll see cigarette butts, junk food wrappers/containers and other bits of throwaway crud, much of it prominently advertising the name and logo of the company who should be held partially responsible for putting it on the street. yes, the people doing much of the littering are the individual customers, and i am quite happy levying monstrous fines on them, but we ought to be placing a great deal of the blame and responsibility on those who directly create the cheapest and most disposable, unwanted garbage. much of it is redundant, too, which defies explanation, but the truly essential bits could certainly be retained or returned to their creators a lot more thoroughly.
should we financially punish corporate litterbugs, we can consider using that money to directly clean up the local environment. people who bring in bags of litter and/or recyclables can be reimbursed in this way, but we can also pay more trash-pickers and street-sweepers, be they part of a traditional workforce or the people who we see now picking up bottles and cans in the area.
yes, there are dozens of problems with these ideas, this i fully admit. there are also solutions or possible solutions for most, if not all of them. articulating them is probably not my strength, and there are people out there much more experienced in the field. we do, however, have to expect to address these concerns more and more, as we already are beyond our capacity to sensibly deal with the waste we generate. speculating just when we reach a tipping point with trash has been a grim game for years, and some think we're already well beyond our ability to correct the errors we've already committed. though i somewhat agree, i think this viewpoint is troublesome as it discourages some people from acting responsibly (and that's already endemic). simple solutions for individuals are obvious (stop buying crap and properly dispose of what you do consume), systemic solutions are more work. being a pessimist i don't think we're up for it, but i would like to be proven wrong.
ongoing documentation of the strike can be found in the photostream of flickr member sharkboy, a friend.
