Garbage
Greece suffers from all sides in the issue of waste management. From public bodies, to companies and the ordinary citizen, bad practices due to ignorance but also due to a wrong mentality have caused and continue to cause an increasingly heavy burden of pollution.
Garbage everywhere, from wonderful landfills, our neighborhoods and our roads, to our forests, our rivers and our seas, pollute and cause incalculable damage to local ecosystems and us.
Our driving behaviors, keeping the inside of our car clean, seeing what we have through the window, are no longer acceptable. It is a crime that can no longer close its eyes in the face of it. It is criminally punished, increases the risk of fire and contaminates ecosystems and our aquifer.
Their connection to fires
Apart from the fact that a large part of the fires have broken out from landfills and even illegal ones, as well as from lighted cigarettes, metal, plastic and glass appliances in the bright ones, the situation worsens especially as the fuel supplies of higher thermal properties than those found in nature Longer maintenance times of the fire temperature, vertical increase and faster expansion are some of the features that sabotage our efforts and increase the problem.
