The great News is that Manado City Government has decided to deal with the Garbage problem within the City and as mentioned in my previous Blog, the results are already plain to see but where will all this rubbish go? It seems that landfill is still the only solution that they have, sustainable? eco-friendly? ah well as far as I am concerned the first step has been made and the first step is always the most difficult. After years of neglect we need to support and help the Local Government to ensure that this new found desire is maintained and isnt, yet again a " flash in the pan".
