 | Stop Landfills Stop LANDFILLS (2.25min) Camapign and Education Video Waste is a symbol of inefficiency. We want to get away from it or want to hide it. But it follows us and makes us swallow it. With waste come other thugs to scavenge on it. They can be expressed as "Corruption (bureaucracy + politicians + business + scientists) = Disaster (people + environment + economy + justice + culture)" This is the result of wrong perceptions or notions about waste. Wrong questions always fetch wrong answers. End of the pipe solutions like landfills, incineration or centralised waste management will not solve the issue of waste. This movie was shot at Vilappilsala a beautiful village lying on the spur hills of Western Ghats. Thiruvananthapuram City Corporation -- the capital city of Kerala -- started a centralised mixed waste management facility in this village despite of protests and warning from all walks of life in 2000. In two years it proved to be a wrong choice and decision which led to the failure of the project. In 2005 the Govt. also acknowledged that it is a failure. By this time about 200,000 metric tonnes of discards from composting process have been piled up in the opening of the valley where a stream originates and joins the river which feeds drinking water for the city and surrounding villages. To hide that great blunder the authority have decided to 'cap' it, a kind of land filling of waste 'as and where it is'. Besides this the Government also decided to compensate the private company who created this problem with Rs.15 crores ($ 3.4 million) and is spending Rs.1.25 crores ($ 284,000) to cap the existing mount of wate! No criminal procedure, no legal action against the company who polluted the entire land and drinking water of millions of people! No compensation for the villagers and farmers who lost their livelihood, land and health! This is the story everywhere. Landfills do not solve the issue of waste. They are only postponing a problem for some time. It is like a time bomb which is set to destroy our future. It is proven that all landfills will leak and it is a truth. Let us SAY NO TO LANDFILLS and work towards a zero waste community. ACT NOW!
