I've been lucky enough to visit the Maldives.


Beautiful, beautiful place....

Well, it was on the face of it.

I had read in a guidebook about their rubbish problems, so both times I visited I was conscious not to leave any litter behind.

Let's face it though, with the cost levied to stay there, the Maldivians could create a better waste management system. This is the result of greed and lack of education.

Someone explain then how consumerism and this don't go hand in hand..

People won't things without much consequence, therefore the waste is dumped to save money.

You might think the mendicants had received enough in additional funding from our governments lately to have resources to deal with this, as well as the climate change that is so obviously about to wipe them off the face of the map.

But didn't they spend it on a new airport or something?

I see it as:

Man gets paid to go to tropical paradise and complains they are dumping their rubbish and making a mess of their country.

Man does not go to uk tips and complain we are ruining our country.
