Are Cypriots totally bereft of any common sense?
It is no wonder they get flooded out every year as they throw their rubbish out of car windows and this blocks all the storm drains, then, if it does drain away into the river beds ....... they build their houses on the dry river bed ...... where there is even more rubbish blocking the culverts ..... and they wonder why the water backs up and they get flooded every year. They never learn!
Just because you weren’t there when the truck arrived to collect the rubbish doesn’t mean it never came.
...simple enough, the next time you go down the hill, the garbage will be there, or not.
If it is, i'd like to know, because it is relevant as news, worthy of being news.
...indeed, we talk about flooding, and filled or not, also the dams every year, this seems much worse; climate change? Yet it does not change the fact, ignorance, or good management (have costs), the benefits, to who, are different. While no one likes following rules at some point in their lives, all of us at some point, realise their reason. Cleanliness and order makes sense; respect and recognition: here are good reasons why. Water, every drop of it is important to all of us, these incidences, in Cyprus, demonstrate the need for more care, worse in my mind, it demonstrates a weakness within us, as Cypriots.
