The dozens of men, women and children buried by a garbage dump that
collapsed in Manila today is a grim reminder of the multiplicity of
tragic consequences caused by the waste we produce. True, most of
the victims earned their living by scavenging through the garbage
at the Payatas dump. Surely there are other ways to provide food
and shelter for the impoverished in third world nations.
