RUS: С приходом рыночной экономики в Россию количество продуктов и, соответственно, упаковки увеличилось экспоненциально, но никаких новых технологий, связанных с утилизацией мусора не появилось, не улучшилась уборка улиц и не увиличился размер контейнеров для мусора. Но вопрос в другом: есть ли у этих людей хоть какое-то представление о чистоте их среды? Фото сделаны в летнем театре городского парка рядом с двумя детскими игровыми площадками.
ENG: With market economy coming to Russia the amount of products and consequently of packaging increased exponentially but no new technology related to trash disposal has been introduced, street cleaning has not become better, the size of trash containers has not increased. But the question is if the people have any concept of their environment cleanliness? The pictures were taken at a summer theater of a city park near two kids playgrounds.

Interesting observation Alex. I saw the same thing in the Korean economy as it exponentially grew during the 70s. Everything...bottles, paper...were repackaged and recycled.
Once affluence took hold all that changed and pollution and environmental degradation become rampant. The consumer economy is based on convenience and throw away. Eventually some entrepreneur will discover a way to make money on this dilemma and improvement will then, commence. But I suspect in the short term, this will not be the case.
