This video was posted 2 months ago, prior to the ongoing war. And it goes to show how the people of Gaza could not even build back basic infrastructure due to heavy sanctions of basic necessities and relentless airstrikes.
Gaza Strip is also known as the "world's largest open-air prison"

The whole world has a problem with what to do with waste. Some is incinerated, some is buried, some is recycled. New Zealand ships our recyclables to China, who then just buries them because it's cheaper to do so, and we pretend to be morally superior recyclers. Gazans, due to necessity, may have developed techniques for dealing with waste that the rest of the world could benefit from.
I know that wasn't your point, but I take your point.
The whole recycling “industry” is a scam. They only bother for some items where there is profit and that’s only true some of the time, most of the time it all goes into the same landfills as everything else.
It’s not a serious problem though, we’ve barely scratched the surface of available resources on earth and have plenty of space for refuse (maybe not the Gazans, but the rest of us do).
I think that is correct. I think we are not anywhere close to running out of space to bury this stuff. And eventually, if need be, with the much more developed economy of the future, it will become cheap to reprocess that tainted landfill land into more natural stuff.
But hey, they developed a better egg crate that farmers prefer. I think that is pretty cool.
In HK there are entire apartment complexes with 50,000 people living in them, built on top of former landfill sites
That's if you're lucky, and they're not dumping it in the ocean!
Poverty is the least fun but most efficient recycling program
