Daily Deviation

Given 2010-11-11
It's almost impossible trying to describe this. It's just too sad to attempt to. This is the power of photojournalism. I hope it reaches out to your heart as it has done to mine.

Heart-wrenching. To think people actually have to do this EVERYDAY in order to get by.... It really makes us think how easy we have it....... It's admirable though that they're able to get up, get ready, go to work, pick through trash all day, come home, eat dinner, go to sleep, wake up, start again.

Oh yes, I totally understand that! It's just also sad that there houses are right by it, so they can never get away from it.

Fantastic photo.

The gases being emitted by this dump could no doubt power a city, so try to look past the obvious and see the hidden possibilities of human ingenuity. If you think you know something about dumps and landfills and their effects on the environment I highly recommend this article, it clears up a lot of common myths: [link]

I'm not ashamed to admit I take things out of the dump, I ran my truck on dump sourced tires for years!

Horrifying. But inspiring. People should know about this; everyone should know and see this.
Very moving.
