Below is a picture taken from above a bazaar in Mexico City.

I recommend this book. Especially if you like pictures. I didn't really read the written parts (it seemed rather propaganda-ish), but there were some pictures of huge landfills full of rubbage. Garbage. From us. We are filling land fill after land fill up. I don't say that there is anything wrong with using styrofoam and plastic containers but the least we can do is be mindful of what we waste. When you see a plastic bottle, almost empty, take the lid off. Throw the lid away separetely so that any liquid left in the bottle will be able to return to the earth and the bottle won't take up so much room in a landfill. There's lots of other obvious things we can do. Not to save the world, but to preserve what has been given to us. Honestly, though, the pictures were just fun to look at.
