  5. I think the town is flooded by debris that flew and now people are trying to collect and make recycling. But most non-recyclable rubbish was so they can not get rid of.

    I think this picture speaks for overconsumption that has flooded our trash and that better than to recycle it is better not to use only the necessary-to close the taps.
