The garbage disposal problem threatens our planet and our
future. This is the motive that brought me to undertake a
reportage about this dangerous issue. In Nepal, day by day I could
have seen the increasing of this problem due to a lack of
education about it and a lack of a suitable action plan by the
government of one of the poorest countries in the world. The
many interests that surround this sector, increases the attention of
the corrupt government that makes more and more business with
the black workers, especially waste pickers, creating a vicious
circle favored by easy money to detriment of the environment in
which we live.
