Bordo Poniente, on the Penon-Texcoco Highway, Mexico city
The New York Times reported that Mexico City’s landfill Bordo Poniente has recently closed. City trash would now be trucked out to more distant dumps, it was planned. And the 1500 “pepenadores” (rag pickers) who made a living off the open face have negotiated a deal with the city that they would man the transfer station.
Want to know what it was like to work on the dump? Check out the video.
The Huffington Post was able to add that the plan didn’t quite work out: the distant dumps didn’t have the slightest desire to cooperate. Garbage has been piling up in the city in the meantime.
Thanks for the story and video link.
Hey, everyone is entitled to their own opinion, but first, maybe you ought to distinguish the difference between writing and journaling before trashing what you think is romance writing. I’m ‘journaling’ a memory for MYSELF. A blog is for our own free expression, and this is how I’m ‘expressing’ myself to get through a difficult time. Your ‘critique’ was uncalled for and nasty. You pinned my chicken fingers, so critique and trash those, if you feel so inclined.
Thanks for your direct and honest writing style. I love it.
Just noticed I don’t see any posts after Feb.2012…hope to see something new soon! thanks!
