NIMBY
We all know the acronym NIMBY.
Not in my back yard.
Naples in Italy is one city that takes it to heart.
They've had a trash problem for years, and object to the idea of having a dump put in close to their city. So, they've been rightiously fighting it.
Now, the landfill they were using is full, and they have NO WHERE to put their trash. So, its sits in their front yards, festering and decomposing and fermenting into a luxiourious and rotting producer of methane and maggots.
Some residents are burning their trash, adding a lovely smell of burnt garbage and toxic gas to the mix.
They are sure showing the powers that be who's boss.
