I have lived in places in the U.S. that are extremely trash conscious, (such as Portland, OR), and other places where there is not even a recycling program in the whole city, (Bisbee, AZ). From my experience- the variation seems to do a lot with community activism and commitment as well as support from the specific state. Assuming the U.S. as a whole is either great or terrible in regards to trash management, is not entirely valid.
- Does Mexico experience something similar? How concerned are people about the trash in their communities?
- I am also wondering how active alternative building projects are that seek to utilize specific kinds of trash as building material? ( Ex.- homes built from old tires or offices from old metal shipping containers)
- How supportive is the Mexican government in providing funding, tax breaks, etc., for independent organizations/projects which attempt to find working solutions for Mexico’s trash?
